Bradley M. Kuhn 2ea19b71d4 Remove incomplete lists of authors entirely. 
The lists of authors in each part has been continually out of date and
incomplete.  There are multiple examples, here are a few:

  * In September 2005, John Sullivan made improvements and was not placed on
    the Authors lists until I did so in a March 2014 commit.

  * In March 2014, Martin Michlmayr submitted many patches, but was not
    placed on the Authors lists until I did so in an April 2014 commit.

There is no easy way to keep these Authors lists current, and they aren't
necessary under CC-BY-SA-4.0 anyway, so I herein remove the Authors lists.
Additionally, previous commit added "published sources" in each part, which
is more static and easier to keep up to date and provides similar
information.

Copyleft and GPL Tutorial Materials

This repository contains various tutorial materials regarding the suite of GNU General Public Licenses and copyleft (as applied to software).

The primary item of interest is an omnibus book on copyleft that is built from the comprehensive-GPL-guide.tex file.

You can build this project with the following command:

$ make

HTML output will be in the public_html directory and a PDF file will be in comprehensive-gpl-guide.pdf.

You may need to first install texlive, tex4ht and a few other things. On Debian-based systems, this command may work as root:

# aptitude install texlive-full make tex4ht

You may also browse the current version of the guide on copyleft.org, and download a PDF of the Guide as well.

Note the canonical repository for this project is on gitorious. Typically, copies of this repository on sites other than gitorious are for informational and backup purposes only.

Contributing

Patches to this project are welcome. Please submit a merge request on Gitorious. If you cannot use that, you may email patches directly to Bradley. You can find his email address in the commit logs.
