bkuhn	edcdf9977aa9	4 years ago	Merge commit from 'refs/merge-requests/5' of gitorious.org:gpl-compliance-tools/tutorial into my local gitorious-merge-requests/005
Free Software Found...	221481f33b6d	4 years ago	Relevant text from FSF's "GPLv3 Final Rationale" as released on 2007-06-29. I (Bradley M. Kuhn) went through FSF's "GPLv3 Final 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://www.gnu.org/licences/gpl3-final-rationale.pdf 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. As mentioned in a previous commit, 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.

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.

bkuhn	b66035e69e58	4 years ago	Typo fixing and wordsmithing.
bkuhn	2e8178b28d2e	4 years ago	Rewrite of the paragraph about conspicuous warranty disclaimers. I went looking for that case that Dan mentioned to me when I wrote that, but couldn't find it. He never told me what it was, so I don't think I should reference it. If we haven't found it in 10 years, maybe it doesn't exist?
bkuhn	618ddec73058	4 years ago	We now have a chapter earlier that discusses this in more detail, just reference that instead of this other text that was here.

bkuhn	d5864804ba05	4 years ago	Various wordsmith and formatting changes.
bkuhn	47e37c955c57	4 years ago	A footnote to explain compilation (computing) vs. compilation (copyright). I wouldn't have thought this would be necessary, until years ago when a lawyer on the now defunct open-bar list tried to claim that because the same word, "compilation", was used to describe the process of converting source to binaries and aggregating works into an anthology that they automatically mean the same thing.
bkuhn	ace387b09824	4 years ago	More wordsmith and formatting fixes.
bkuhn	adc4d167bbb3	4 years ago	UCITA was never widely adopted and it's long since passed. However, they appear to be on the books in MA and VA, so I've noted this here.
bkuhn	3815a3d2252c	4 years ago	Wordsmith and typo fixes.
bkuhn	54d57e9281d9	4 years ago	Properly label license names and proper formatting of section symbol. Throughout the document, there were inconsistencies in how the \S was used, and also there were many places where it was used to refer to section numbers but not the document they were in. Since the tutorial now covers so many different licenses, be pedantic about this throughout and ensure the \S is never without its document name.
bkuhn	8399b0a7964a	4 years ago	Wordsmithing and typo fixes.
bkuhn	07828daf38a4	4 years ago	Put a fine point on this.
bkuhn	b364be0e4347	4 years ago	IMO, this is a much better example of fair use, and has real world implications too.

bkuhn	a749f38dee49	4 years ago	Wrote section on two copylefts.
bkuhn	163368ebf89b	4 years ago	First draft of section regarding "or-later". Includes labels needed for forward-references used herein.
bkuhn	79941dd33445	4 years ago	Note that GPLv3 is discussed in detail in later chapter.
bkuhn	7f493a236ab9	4 years ago	First draft of text explaining GPLv3, geared toward newbies.
bkuhn	a333f11d1178	4 years ago	Use new \tutorialpartsplit command to handle splitting this apart.
bkuhn	a700a8caa60d	4 years ago	I'm starting to think Conny looks better. Long term, as mentioned in a previous commit, we should look at the memoir package.
bkuhn	76284eab94fe	4 years ago	new command for when tutorials are split apart. First arg is what to say when it's by itself, second arg is for when they are integrated.
bkuhn	3158f32e477d	4 years ago	Introductory discussion of GPLv2 for this section that introduces it.
