Relevant text from GPLv3 First Discussion Draft Rationale of 2006-01-16.
...
I carefully went through FSF's First Discussion Draft Rationale, which was
published on Monday 16 January 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/gpl-rationale-2006-01-16.html
Specifically, a copy of the LaTeX sources are here:
http://gplv3.fsf.org/gpl-rationale-2006-01-16.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.

Rewrite of the paragraph about conspicuous warranty disclaimers.

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?

A footnote to explain compilation (computing) vs. compilation (copyright).
...
I wouldn't have thought this would be necessary, until years ago when a
lawyer on the now defunct open-bar list tried to claim that because the same
word, "compilation", was used to describe the process of converting source to
binaries and aggregating works into an anthology that they automatically mean
the same thing.

Properly label license names and proper formatting of section symbol.
...
Throughout the document, there were inconsistencies in how the \S was used,
and also there were many places where it was used to refer to section numbers
but not the document they were in.
Since the tutorial now covers so many different licenses, be pedantic about
this throughout and ensure the \S is never without its document name.
