Bradley M. Kuhn ce9168a9af Citations of third-party works in appendix only. 
As alluded to in 2ea19b71d4 's commit
message on 2014-12-17 19:52:15 -0500, keeping any information on a
part-by-part basis is difficult and error-prone, since there exists no
reliable way to auto-generate such information accurately.

Therefore, citations to third-party works, in addition to remaining
fully documented in the commit log as they always have been, are now
placed in specifically one location in the body of the text itself: a
single appendix specifically designed for that purpose.

In this manner, contributors have no house-keeping work regarding
citations.  Contributors need only list third party works and links in
one place: third-party-citations.tex.

Documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md for making contributions of third-party
works is left as a TODO.

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

Improvements of all kinds and manner are welcome. Please review the instructions and details regarding making contributions for more information.
