Bradley M. Kuhn 746eff5786 Link LGPL compliance section to LGPL analysis. 
Since so little material is currently given on LGPL compliance, it's
likely best to link back to the chapter on LGPL compliance.

Besides, I don't think there really is anything additional the
compliance guide can add regarding LGPL compliance, other than the
detail license analysis on LGPL already available in that part of the
text.

(Note labels had to be added for the chapters that didn't previously
exist.)

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 can also download a prebuilt PDF file.

Note the canonical repository for this project is on gitorious. Copies of this repository on other sites is for informational and backup purposes only.
