 % FIXME: reword intro to license compatibility
 Another challenge facing the free software community is the proliferation of
 incompatible free software licenses. Of course, we cannot make the GPL
 compatible with all such licenses. GPLv3 contains provisions that are
 designed to reduce license incompatibility by making it easier for developers
 to combine code carrying non-GPL terms with GPL'd code.
 % FIXME: more about license compatibility here.
 A challenge that faced the Free Software community heavily through out the
 early 2000s was the proliferation of incompatible Free Software licenses.  Of
 course, we cannot make the GPL compatible with all such licenses. GPLv3
 contains provisions that are designed to reduce license incompatibility by
 making it easier for developers to combine code carrying non-GPL terms with
 GPL'd code.
