07a02b0b1c Merge various texts to a coherent section on "modify" & internationalization. 
Ultimately, some of the text related to "modify" made good seed material to
explain the internationalization motivations of GPLv3.  That text is moved
and expanded, and the various parts about the "modify" definition are merged
together into one subsection.

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
follows:
