SFLC tech director finds one new GPL violator every day

,----[ Quote ]
| Bradley Kuhn, the technical director of
| the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC),
| has published a helpful set of guidelines
| about the most productive way to respond
| to a suspected violation of GNU's General
| Public License (GPL). The guidelines
| caution against jumping to conclusions and
| encourages free software enthusiasts to
| give violators the benefit of the doubt.
| GPL violations are extremely common, he
| says, but most of them are accidental.
