 \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.
