\chapter{Preface}
|
|
|
|
This tutorial is the culmination of nearly a decade of studying and writing
|
|
about software freedom licensing and the GPL\@. Each part of this tutorial
|
|
is a course unto itself, educating the reader on a myriad of topics from the
|
|
deep details of the GPLv2 and GPLv3, common business models in the copyleft
|
|
licensing area (both the friendly and unfriendly kind), best practices for
|
|
compliance with the GPL, both for engineers and managers, as well as
|
|
real-world case studies of GPL enforcement matters.
|
|
|
|
It is unlikely that all the information herein is necessary to learn all at
|
|
once, and therefore this tutorial likely serves best as a reference book.
|
|
The material herein has been used as the basis for numerous live tutorials
|
|
and discussion groups since 2002, and the materials have been periodically
|
|
updated. They likely stand on their own as excellent reference material.
|
|
|
|
However, if you are reading these course materials without attending a live
|
|
tutorial session, please note that this material is merely a summary of the
|
|
highlights of the various CLE and other tutorial courses based on this
|
|
material. Please be aware that during the actual courses, class discussion
|
|
supplements this printed curriculum. Simply reading it is not equivalent to
|
|
attending the course.
