copyleft.org
============

copyleft.org is a collaborative project to create and disseminate useful
information, tutorial material, and new policy ideas regarding all forms of
copyleft licensing.

### The Copyleft Guide and Tutorial

The primary project currently on this site is a tutorial book entitled
[*Copyleft and the GNU General Public License: A Comprehensive Guide and Tutorial*](/guide/).
This guide describes the policy motivations for copyleft, presents a detailed analysis of the text of
various copyleft licenses, and gives examples and case studies of copyleft compliance situations.

### Getting Involved

There are various ways to get involved with this project.  The primary
copyleft.org website is a wiki, and we welcome helpful edits and additions.

For the aforementioned guide and tutorial about GPL and other copyleft concepts,
we seek help in the following ways:

#### Proposing Improvements to the Guide

[Merge requests on copyleft.org's gitorious site](https://gitorious.org/copyleft-org/tutorial/merge_requests)
to the Guide are most welcome. If you're looking for something to fix, just
grep the *.tex files for "FIXME" and you'll find plenty.  Many of them are
simple and easy to do.  Some of them are writing, and some of them are
formatting-related.

#### Joining Mailing Lists

   * Subscribe to our low-traffic [announcements-only mailing list](https://lists.copyleft.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/announce).
