I'm confused... Where's the list of violations?

  Publicly shaming violators is not the goal of the project.

    The only information this site seems to convey then is "the GPL exists and is able to be violated". I'm not sure what use this is?

    Perhaps not shaming, but the first sentence on their homepage seems to suggest that they'd have some sort of list: > The gpl-violations.org project tries to raise public awareness about past and present infringing use(r)s of GPL licensed software. At any rate, if you click the News link in the navbar, you can find some news with names of entities they've gone after, though nothing is particularly recent.

  They have some in the news section: http://gpl-violations.org/news/ http://gpl-violations.org/news/

    The last relevant piece of “news” is from 2013. I thought maybe the mailing list would have some info, but nope, discontinued, without an archive link.

    Skimmed over it, from all those companies they had to sue, only Gigabyte seems to have been cooperative.

  That site came out and was popular when D-Link and Cisco were brought to court for violating Welte's copyright, IIRC.

  The list of cases was the only interesting thing why I opened the site. Got disappointed
