A footnote to explain compilation (computing) vs. compilation (copyright).
...
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.

Properly label license names and proper formatting of section symbol.
...
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.
