 suggesting ``distribution in a physical medium only''.
 To address these two issues, GPLv3 says ``price'' in place of ``fee,'' and
 removes the term ``physical.''
 GPLv3~\S4 has also been revised from its corresponding section in GPLv2 in
 light of the GPLv3~\S7 (see \S~\ref{GPLv3s7} in this tutorial for more).
 Specifically, a distributor of verbatim copies of the program's source code
 must obey any existing additional terms that apply to parts of the program
 pursuant to GPLv3~\S7.  In addition, the distributor is required to keep
 intact all license notices, including notices of such additional terms.
 % FIXME: needs context, needs match up to current text, and removal of stuff
 %        that's no longer there
 % FIXME: say more and tie it to the text
 There is no harm in explicitly pointing out what ought to be obvious: that
 those who convey GPL-covered software may offer commercial services for the

 \section{GPLv3~\S5: Modified Source}
 \label{GPLv3s5}
 % FIXME: 5(a) is slightly different in final version
 Section 5 contains a number of changes relative to the corresponding section
 in GPLv2. Subsection 5a slightly relaxes the requirements regarding notice of
 changes to the program. In particular, the modified files themselves need no
 longer be marked. This reduces administrative burdens for developers of
 modified versions of GPL'd software.
