+     The GNU General Public License for Developers and Businesspeople
+     ----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This tutorial gives a section-by-section explanation of the most popular
+Free Software copyright license, the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL),
+and teaches software developers, managers and businesspeople how to use
+the GPL and GPL'ed software successfully in new Free Software business and
+in existing, successful enterprises.
+
+Attendees should have a general familiarity with software development
+processes.  A vague understanding of how copyright law applies to software
+is also helpful.  The tutorial is of most interest to software developers
+and managers who run software businesses that modify and/or redistribute
+software under terms of the GNU GPL (or who wish to do so in the future),
+and those who wish to make use of existing GPL'ed software in their
+enterprise.
+
+This is not a legal tutorial.  By contrast, it explains the GNU GPL to
+professionals who are not well versed in the details of copyright law.
+Presented by a software developer and manager, this tutorial informs
+non-lawyers who wish to have a deeper understanding of how the GNU GPL
+uses copyright law to protect software freedom and to assist in the
+formation of Free Software businesses.
+
+Upon completion of the tutorial, successful attendees can expect to have
+learned:
+
+    * the freedom-defending purpose of each term of the GNU GPL
+
+    * the redistribution options under the GPL
+
+    * the obligations when modifying GPL'ed software
+
+    * how to properly apply the GPL to a new software
+
+    * how to build a plan for proper and successful compliance with the GPL
+
+    * the business advantages that the GPL provides
+
+    * the most common business models used in conjunction with the GPL
+
+    * how existing GPL'ed software can be used in existing enterprises
+ 
+The full tutorial take three hours, with time for plenty of questions and
+two fifteen minute breaks.  An abbreviated one-hour talk that introduces
+the the issues covered in the full tutorial is also an option.
