c39671d91a Add section about different types of enforcement and rename a section. 2014-02-20 12:56:09 -05:00
Bradley M. Kuhn
b09eaf432c s/Davrik/Boretz/, since Davrik is close to Dalvik 
Dalvik didn't exist as a software package when the anonymous name
placeholders were chosen when this was originally written.  At this point,
using Darvik as a name will likely only cause confusion Dalvik, which is
fully unrelated to this matter.

f5c0cdc919 Remove license text appendix from gpl-lgpl.tex and place it in its own file.

materials.

8696eb1b08 This essay is out of date and completely useless now in these materials. 
More materials will need to instead be written regarding GPLv3.  Section
outlines are already in place for most of that.

337f2e9044 First pass across to find a repair places that say "GPL" to mean GPLv2. 
This text was originally written before GPLv3 existed, and as such it assumes
that "GPL" always means v2.  Herein is the first attempt to rectify that
situation.
