Relevant text from FSF's "GPLv3 Final Rationale" as released on 2007-06-29.
I (Bradley M. Kuhn) went through FSF's "GPLv3 Final Rationale", and pasted in
any sections that seemed useful to this tutorial. There is a lot of
interesting material in that particular rationale document, although much of
it is probably too verbose for inclusion. I expect much of this will need to
be cut out.
The raw material used for this commit can be found here:
http://www.gnu.org/licences/gpl3-final-rationale.pdf
As I pasted in this text, I added FIXME's sometimes where it seemed the text
might need work. However, I was much more extensive in just pasting here, so
there's a big editing job now. As mentioned in a previous commit, the whole
GPLv3 chapter is now completely disjoint with all this pasting.
Finally, note that this material was originally copyrighted and licensed as

However, I am hereby relicensing this material to CC-By-SA-4.0, with the
verbal permission from John Sullivan, Executive Director of the FSF, which
was given to me during a conference call on Wednesday 12 February 2014. I
also confirmed that relicensing permission on IRC with johnsu01 today.
