Copyleft and the GPL: A Comprehensive Tutorial and Guide
f4b4b9f85e
as released on 2007-03-28. I (Bradley M. Kuhn) went through FSF's "Third Discussion Draft Rationale", and pasted in any sections that seemed useful to this tutorial. There is a lot of interesting material in that particular rationale document, although much of it is probably too verbose for inclusion. I expect much of this will need to be cut out. The raw material used for this commit can be found here: http://gplv3.fsf.org/gpl3-dd3-guide Specifically, a copy of the LaTeX sources are here: http://gplv3.fsf.org/gpl3-dd3-rationale.tex As I pasted in this text, I added FIXME's sometimes where it seemed the text might need work. However, I was much more extensive in just pasting here, so there's a big editing job now. The whole GPLv3 chapter is now completely disjoint with all this pasting. Finally, note that this material was originally copyrighted and licensed as follows: Copyright © 2007, Free Software Foundation, Inc. Verbatim copying and distribution of this entire article are permitted worldwide, without royalty, in any medium, provided this notice is preserved. However, I am hereby relicensing this material to CC-By-SA-4.0, with the verbal permission from John Sullivan, Executive Director of the FSF, which was given to me during a conference call on Wednesday 12 February 2014. I also confirmed that relicensing permission on IRC with johnsu01 today. |
