 \chapter*{Executive Summary}
 This is a guide to effective compliance with the GNU General Public
 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.

 % START OF SECOND DAY SEMINAR SECTION
 % =====================================================================
 \chapter*{Preface}
 This one-day course presents the details of five different GPL
 compliance cases handled by FSF's GPL Compliance Laboratory. Each case
 offers unique insights into problems that can arise when the terms of
 the GPL are not properly followed, and how diplomatic negotiation between
 the violator and the copyright holder can yield positive results for
 both parties.
 Attendees should have successfully completely the course, a ``Detailed
 Study and Analysis of the GPL and LGPL,'' as the material from that
 course forms the building blocks for this material.
 This course is of most interest to lawyers who have clients or
