This is a guide to effective compliance with the GNU General Public
 
License (GPL) and related licenses. In accordance with the Software
 
Freedom Law Center's (SFLC's) philosophy of assisting the community with
 
GPL compliance cooperatively, this guide focuses on avoiding compliance
 
actions and minimizing the negative impact when enforcement actions occur.
 
It introduces and explains basic legal concepts related to the GPL and its
 
License (GPL) and related licenses.  Copyleft advocates
 
usually seek to assist the community with
 
GPL compliance cooperatively.   This guide focuses on complying from the
 
start, so that readers can learn to avoid enforcement actions entirely, or, at
 
least, minimize  the negative impact when enforcement actions occur.
 
This guide  introduces and explains basic legal concepts related to the GPL and its
 
enforcement by copyright holders. It also outlines business practices and
 
methods that lead to better GPL compliance.  Finally, it recommends proper
 
post-violation responses to the concerns of copyright holders.
