One of the essays explains why software projects should +upgrade to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. + </p> + <p> + There is now a section on issues of terminology, since the way we +describe an issue affects how people think about it. + </p> + <p> + The last two sections describe some of the traps free software +developers and users face—new ways to lose your freedom, and how to +avoid them. + </p> + <p> + We have also added an index, to complement the appendix on software. + </p> + <p> + We would like to thank Jeanne Rasata for managing the project, editing +the book, formatting the text, and creating the index.
