 \section{GPLv3~\S2: Basic Permissions}
 % FIXME: phrase ``unmodified Program'' appears due to User Products exception
 We have included the first sentence of section 2 to further internationalize
 the GPL. Under the copyright laws of some countries, it may be necessary for
 a copyright license to include an explicit provision setting forth the
 duration of the rights being granted. In other countries, including the
 United States, such a provision is unnecessary but permissible.
 GPLv3~\S2 can roughly be considered as an equivalent to GPLv2~\S0 (discussed
 in \S~\ref{GPLv2sS0} of this tutorial).  However, the usual style of
 improvements found in GPLv3 are found here as well.  For example, the first
 sentence of GPLv3~\S2 furthers the goal internationalization.  Under the
 copyright laws of some countries, it may be necessary for a copyright license
 to include an explicit provision setting forth the duration of the rights
 being granted. In other countries, including the USA, such a provision is
 unnecessary but permissible.
 GPLv3~\S2\P1 also acknowledges that licensees under the GPL enjoy rights of
 copyright fair use, or the equivalent under applicable law.  These rights are
 compatible with, and not in conflict with, the freedoms that the GPL seeks to
 protect, and the GPL cannot and should not restrict them.
 The first paragraph of section 2 also acknowledges that licensees under the
 GPL enjoy rights of copyright fair use, or the equivalent under applicable
 law. These rights are compatible with, and not in conflict with, the freedoms
 that the GPL seeks to protect, and the GPL cannot and should not restrict
 them.
