Relevant text from FSF's "Covenant Not to Assert"
...
as published circa late 2006-07 (around time of GPLv3 Second Discussion Draft)
I (Bradley M. Kuhn) carefully went through FSF's "Covenant Not to Assert",
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.
However, since the patent provisions changed some much over the drafting of
GPLv3, there was not much text useful to bring in on this one.
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/covenant-not-to-assert-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 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.

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.
