Copyleft and the GPL: A Comprehensive Tutorial and Guide
1e928fdbb8
as released on 2007-05-31.
I (Bradley M. Kuhn) went through FSF's "Third Discussion Draft Rationale",
and pasted in any sections that seemed useful to this tutorial. There is a
lot of interesting material in that particular rationale document, although
much of it is probably too verbose for inclusion. I expect much of this will
need to be cut out.
The raw material used for this commit can be found here:
http://gplv3.fsf.org/gpl3-dd4-guide.html
Specifically, a copy of the LaTeX sources are here:
http://gplv3.fsf.org/gpl3-dd4-rationale.tex
As I pasted in this text, I added FIXME's sometimes where it seemed the text
might need work. However, I was much more extensive in just pasting here, so
there's a big editing job now. As mentioned in a previous commit, the whole
GPLv3 chapter is now completely disjoint with all this pasting.
