539cc5e81b Rewrite the entire Patent section. 
Much of this text, pasted from various different rationale documents, deals
with issues that either changed in later drafts, or is focused on various
minutia about the Microsoft/Novell deal that seems in retrospect rather
unimportant for many reasons.

Hopefully what I've cut down to is the bare essentials of what's needed to
explain the patent section of GPLv3 to a newbie.  I suspect that I'll want
later to go over this and add more material or reword things further.

I've added a few FIXME-LATER's for that reason.

aa15f936ce Fontana noted that I edited this poorly the first time, 
likely due in my haste to make a funny commit message:

<fontana> bkuhn: I think there's an editing problem in that change
<bkuhn> fontana: I was showing you the commit message more than the content
<bkuhn> are you saying I made an editing erro[r]?
<fontana> yes

together into one subsection.
