Copyleft and the GPL: A Comprehensive Tutorial and Guide
678e841079
as published circa 2007-03-28, (around the time of GPLv3 Third Discussion
Draft)
I (Bradley M. Kuhn) carefully went through FSF's "GPLv2 Discussion Draft 3
FAQ", which appears to have been published on Thursday 28 March 2007, and
merged in any relevant text that might be of use in this tutorial.
The raw material used for this commit can be found here:
http://gplv3.fsf.org/dd3-faq
As I merged in this text, I added FIXME's where it seemed the text was
incomplete or referred to parts of GPLv3 draft text that disappeared in later
versions.
