851be52e62 Rework two compliance guide sections in Background
Some of the text pasted in earlier commits was certainly useful, but
needed a complete rework.

Also, the text pasted was far too terse, and more detail was needed.

Therefore, I've moved text around and build a more comprehensive
Background section.  I've moved the burgeoning "Understanding Who's
Enforcing" section into the Background chapter and made it complete.

Probably the most bizarre (?) change I've made here is coining this
acronym COGEO.  This is non-optimal for sure, and I've added a FIXME to
seek a better term.

a1b059184c Incorporate useful text from a third party work.
Software Freedom Law Center, a small law firm specializing in Open
Source, recently published its so-called "Guide to GPL Compliance,
Second Edition":
http://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2014/SFLC-Guide_to_GPL_Compliance_2d_ed.html

The Firm's document is substantially less comprehensive than this one;
however, their document contained a few phrases and paragraphs that
seemed useful and accurate.  This commit incorporates the useful
material from that work into this one (as permitted by the CC BY-SA 4.0
license, which the Software Freedom Law Center applied to their work).

The useful sections have been pasted without proper textual integration
into the appropriate sections of this tutorial.  A few are currently
commented out entirely and marked with appropriate FIXME's.  Meanwhile,
the text that seems immediately useful is *not* commented out, and is
marked with "FIXME-URGENT".  Additional work is now required to
integrate the new text properly into this tutorial.

Careful readers who compare this commit with The Firm's document will
find that I passed on inclusion of some seemingly useful material.
Unfortunately, The Firm's text contained some inaccuracies, and frames
discussion primarily from a for-profit perspective.  More disturbingly,
a few statements even directly contradicted the FSF's stated policies.
Of course, The Firm clearly claims "this document does not express the
views, intentions, policy, or legal analysis of any SFLC clients or
client organizations", but I could not in good conscience adopt, as the
official advice in this tutorial, any text that conflicts with the FSF's
policies, nor will I incorporate any puffery that subtly kowtows to
for-profit corporate interests.

Nevertheless, given The Firm's perceived stature, I briefly considered
including policy-conflicting statements, attributing them as alternative
third-party opinions; many of the FSF's own opinions were already
incorporated in that manner earlier this year.  Indeed, I will not prima
facie reject future patches that integrate such statements naturally for
this tutorial.  However, I feel that the didactic value of including The
Firm's attributed dissenting opinions in this tutorial does not outweigh
my editing effort required for such additional textual integration.

This was working more or less before, but during hasty changes last
night, I seem to have reverted it.  I just tested this and it seems to
put titles in the right places.

467a23152a Copyright notice updates.
Joshua Gay made contributions to all the files earlier in 2014 (see git
log) which were copyrighted by the FSF, so FSF's copyright needs
refreshed to include this year.

Denver recently added a section to the enforcement-case-studies.tex, so
his copyright notice needs to go there and at the top file.

I made changes to enforcement-case-studies.tex on top of Denver's.

Also, remove commented-out copyright notices -- the ones in the actual
text are now primary and should be maintained directly.

441df63ee7 Hack tex4ht's overlib stuff to use jQuery tooltip
tex4ht supports "overlib" for footnote popups.  The hack is pretty
straightforward; it dumps a Javascript area into a .js file that can
then be used by overlib to popup stuff.

This hack is to use that output to make the same thing work with jQuery
UI's tooltip widget.

Note that we run with overlib support first, then *without* it in the
Makefile setup.  This is to force the needed .js file to be generated,
but make sure the HTML doesn't try to load overlib (which is default).

(This should be adapted as a patch to upstream tex4ht ultimately.)

Also included herein are improvements to the Makefile to build the HTML
output.

4cea1c4645 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.

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