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.
