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

f3caa4bf6b More fine-tuned changes to s/Open Source/Free Software/g. 
While I liked Donald's changes in the previous commit enough to take them,
and I don't agree with SFLC's (who was the last to edit those words in this
document) preference for "FOSS", I did want to make some fine tuned changes
that I think are appropriate:

  * say "software freedom" rather than "Free Software" anywhere it fits the
    sentence.

  * Capitalize "Free Software" like that, rather than lower case as Donald's
    change did.

  * Say "copylefted" in a few places where that was the stronger implication.

  * Say "Open Source" in two specific places where the intention is to
    include OSI-approved licenses that may not be Free Software licenses.

bdb224a606 Replaced "GPL" with "the GPL" wherever it was used to refer to the license, 
but *not* when used when referring to GPL'd software or GPL violation or GPL
enforcement, etc.
