Note that this chapter is not properly TeX-formatted. Some work will
need to be done to make it compile correctly. It should also be
generally expanded and made to flow more nicely, in the spirit of the
other case study chapters.
The older portions of this tutorial tended to favor the term "derivative
work", since that was the popular catch-all term used at the time the
text was written.
However, as the newer text regarding GPLv3 now states, FSF abandoned the
use of the term "derivative work" in the text of GPLv3 itself, for
various reasons we already discuss in the tutorial.
Therefore, the tutorial text itself should likely not rely so heavily on
the phrase "derivative work" throughout. This change herein reworks a
number of places where "derivative work" was used in the tutorial and
replaced it with other terms.
Ultimately, some word-smithing happened as part of the process of doing
this patch.
This situation is still unresolved, but it's not necessarily accurate to
say that negotiations continue per se, since the issue in question is
now widely known by the entire Free Software community and remains an
issue. (It should be obvious to the careful and informed observer what
situation this is.)
This is the correct list of authors, as shown by:

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.
I am relicensing these with verbal permission from John Sullivan, Executive
Director of the FSF, which was given to me during a conference call on
Wednesday 12 February 2014.
