 ============
 
+## What is Copyleft?
+
+Copyleft is a strategy of utilizing copyright law to pursue the policy goal
+of fostering, encouraging the equal and inalienable right to copy, share,
+modify and improve creative works of authorship.  Copyleft (as a general
+term) describes any method that utilizes the copyright system to achieve the
+aforementioned goal.  Copyleft as a concept is usually implemented in the
+details of a specific copyright license, such as the GNU
+[General Public License](http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) and the
+[Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/).
+Copyright holders of creative work can choose and implement these licenses
+for their own works unilaterally to build communities that share those
+creative works. 
+
+## What is copyleft.org?
+
 copyleft.org is a collaborative project to create and disseminate useful
 information, tutorial material, and new policy ideas regarding all forms of
 copyleft licensing.

-I'd advocate putting a very very simple statement of what copyleft is beneath the first (copyleft.org) paragraph. It's the first question that will come to mind for anyone who is not familiar with copyleft and has arrived here.
