Update this situation status. This situation is still unresolved, but it&apos;s not necessarily accurate to say that negotiations continue per se, since the issue in question is now widely known by the entire Free Software community and remains an issue. (It should be obvious to the careful and informed observer what situation this is.)

Wordsmith this sentence fragment a bit.

derivative works matter less than you think. Given the wealth of text this chapter offers regarding derivative works, this section really is necessary to give context on this point and assure that the reader is not unduly swayed to believe that the derivative work discussion is a central tenant of understanding copyleft. Long term, it may make sense to move the entire chapter on derivative works to a different part of the tutorial. Historically, it was placed here because when teaching courses on the subject based on this text, I found as an instructor that questions about derivative works became so rampant from students during discussions of GPLv2§2 / GPLv3§5 that derivative works discussion ahead of time was the only way to quell the onslaught of ultimately off-topic questions. Thus, the placement of the derivative works section in this location may in fact be merely an historical artifact that this text was written originally to accompany an in-course presentation. While I&apos;d still recommend organizing a classroom presentation of these topics in that order, I no longer believe the written materials must follow suit.

Formatting typo fix.

Move details of exclusive power to a footnote. enyst was quite correct that more explanation was needed here about how an entity achieves exclusive relicensing rights. However, the details are somewhat off-point to what the section is trying to explain, so the details are best placed in a footnote. I&apos;ve also separated out copyright assignment from generating all of one&apos;s own copyrights. This may be a distinction without a difference, but a laundry list seemed appropriate here. Perhaps this should be shortened in future.

Explain GPLv2 implicit private modification rights I&apos;ve long been aware that GPLv2 "technically" governed private modifications and that generally there were probably more requirements on privately modified versions of GPLv2&apos;d works than most people assumed in practice, including commonly held public interpretation by FSF. HT Wolvereness, who pointed out to me that GPLv3 solved that problem. When I spoke to Fontana about it, he was indeed aware that this text was "missing" in GPLv2 and that GPLv3 properly added it, through some politics during the GPLv3 process. I&apos;ve added herein the ultimate historical conclusions about GPLv2&apos;s interpretation and how GPLv3 clarified it. I&apos;ve left out the color about the politics of how it got added, not because they are not interesting, relevant and germane to tutorial, but because we don&apos;t have a good place yet in the tutorial for discussion of GPLv3 drafting politics, and frankly if we have such a section, Fontana ought to write it, not me.

Add label for this section.

GPLv2§2 is for *distributing* modified versions. This text needs to be clear that GPLv2§2 doesn&apos;t govern merely the act of modification, but distributing modified versions (in whole or in part). The previous text here wasn&apos;t clear on that point.
bkuhn e5ee0fd0a138
GPLv3 clarifies private modification permission. While both GPLv2 and GPLv3 have long been considered to grant unabridged right to private modification, GPLv3 has much clearer and explicit wording to this effect. This should be noted when that paragraph is explained. This change herein does that. HT Wolvereness for pointing this difference between GPLv2 and GPLv3 out to me.
