2 GPLv3 docs: DRM and Patents

For anyone looking to understand the proposed changes to the GPL for addressing DRM or software patents, I've made two documents:

• DRM and GPLv3
• Patents and GPLv3

I just got the relevant proposed changes to the licence, and attached public comments made specifically about each proposed change by Richard Stallman and Eben Moglen. Simple? Hopefully.

I had the idea because I wanted to look at just the software patent parts while doing research for a presentation. I realised then that I'm surely not the only one that wants to look at specific parts, so the first doc I made was for DRM - since that seems to be the one with the most public interest - and then I made the software patent document I wanted.

I prioritised making these, and made nice printable version, because the 2nd international GPLv3 conference takes place on April 21st and 22nd. I'll be going, and I thought it would be good to have some print outs to get informed discussion going.

The public comments came from the transcripts of Moglen's GPLv3 launch presentation, Stallman's GPLv3 presentation at FOSDEM, and Stallman's recent GPLv3 presentation in Turin. There's more information about GPLv3 on FSFE's GPLv3 project page.
