Actually, in my nearly 15 years of GPL enforcement, I've seen much worse said about the GPL and its enforcement from much more eloquent and knowledgeable folks. In the whole vast configuration of things, Goodman's attacks on GPL are quite juvenile. There are currently thousands of ongoing GPL violations impacting millions of users. How many users are being impacted by Goodman's violation? It can't be more than hundreds, and probably not more than dozens. As a triage matter, my analysis of this hasn't changed since the last time we discussed it, but I'm open-minded to reconsider if any Linux copyright holders would like the GPL Compliance Project for Linux Developers to do prioritize this violation. They know how to reach me. -- Bradley M.
