The GPLv3 in Plain English â The Parts Microsoft Worries About

,----[ Quote ]
| Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Batman! What the fsck 
| does that say? Hereâs my plain English 
| translation:
| 
|     If you (or one of your partners) provide 
|     software licensed under GPLv3, and agree 
|     not to sue anyone â the agreement not to 
|     sue (and the use of patents that are in 
|     the software) will apply to all future 
|     recipients of that software.
| 
|     Any patent agreement which attempts to 
|     nullify any rights given to you or others 
|     in the GPLv3 is invalid. This includes 
|     paying a partner distribute the software 
|     for you and agreeing not to sue them.
