we have further internationalized the license by removing references to
 
distribution and replacing them with a new factually-based term,
 
``conveying.'' Conveying is defined to include activities that constitute
 
propagation of copies to others.  With these changes, GPLv3 addresses
 
transfers of copies of software in behavioral rather than statutory terms.
 
At the same time, we have acknowledged the use of ``making available to the
 
public'' in jurisdictions outside the USA by adding it as a specific example
 
in the definition of ``propagate.'' We decided to leave the precise
 
definition of an organizational licensee, and the line drawn between
 
licensees and other parties, for determination under local law.

Further to this point, a subset of propagate --- ``convey'' --- is defined.
 
Conveying includes activities that constitute propagation of copies to
 
others.  As with the definition of propagate, GPLv3 thus addresses transfers
 
of copies of software in behavioral rather than statutory terms.
