 These two factors usually cause even new students of GPL to start with GPLv2
 and move on to GPLv3, and this tutorial follows that pattern.
 We recognize that, overall, the changes made in GPLv3 have increased the
 complexity of the license. We would have liked to oblige those who have asked
 us for a simpler and shorter GPL, but we had to give priority to making GPLv3
 do the job that needs to be done.
 Overall, the changes made in GPLv3 admittedly \textit{increased} the
 complexity of the license.  The FSF stated at the start of the GPLv3 process
 that they would have liked to oblige those who have asked for a simpler and
 shorter GPL\@.  Ultimately, the FSF gave priority to making GPLv3 do the job
 that needs to be done to build a better copyleft.  Obsession for concision
 should never trump software freedom.
