221481f33b Relevant text from FSF's "GPLv3 Final Rationale" as released on 2007-06-29. 
I (Bradley M. Kuhn) went through FSF's "GPLv3 Final Rationale", and pasted in
any sections that seemed useful to this tutorial.  There is a lot of
interesting material in that particular rationale document, although much of
it is probably too verbose for inclusion.  I expect much of this will need to
be cut out.

The raw material used for this commit can be found here:
     http://www.gnu.org/licences/gpl3-final-rationale.pdf

As I pasted in this text, I added FIXME's sometimes where it seemed the text
might need work.  However, I was much more extensive in just pasting here, so
there's a big editing job now.  As mentioned in a previous commit, the whole
GPLv3 chapter is now completely disjoint with all this pasting.

Finally, note that this material was originally copyrighted and licensed as

7cd4b2d7f4 Relevant text from FSF's "Opinion on BitTorrent Propagation", 
as published circa late 2006-07 (around time of GPLv3 Second Discussion Draft)

I (Bradley M. Kuhn) carefully went through FSF's "Opinion on BitTorrent
Propagation", which appears to have been published on Wednesday 2 August 2006
(a few days after the second GPLv2 discussion draft published on Thursday 27
July 2006), and merged in any relevant text and descriptions that might be of
use in this tutorial.

The raw material used for this commit can be found here:
    http://gplv3.fsf.org/opinions-draft-2.html
Specifically, a copy of the LaTeX sources are here:
    http://gplv3.fsf.org/bittorrent-dd2.tex

As I merged in this text, I added FIXME's where it seemed the text was
incomplete or referred to parts of GPLv3 draft text that disappeared in later
versions.

I went looking for that case that Dan mentioned to me when I wrote that, but
couldn't find it.  He never told me what it was, so I don't think I should
reference it.  If we haven't found it in 10 years, maybe it doesn't exist?
