Given the number of attempted GPL violations I think that the answer is 'yes', it should be enforced legally.
Corporations would run roughshod over he rights of their users otherwise. The GPL is one of the most creative uses of the copyright system ever.
- icebraining 15y agoI like what the GPL is trying to achieve, but frankly I dislike the 'collateral damage'; blocking proprietary software from using it is fine, but it also blocks the non-copyleft licensed (MIT, BSD, Apache, etc) projects from benefiting from the code. In the OSS/Free Software world, GPL takes and never "gives back". I'm not comfortable with that position.
