It's not a contract, so you can't use contract law against them. You're not a copyright holder, so you can't use copyright law against them. What kind of action are you expecting?
Edited to add: I guess if they sold it to you as a GPLed work then you might have some recourse under advertising law, but even then I think you'd probably be limited to getting your money back - there's no way you can compel them to give you the source code.
- dthunt 15y agoYou do however have legal recourse to ensure compliance (in the sense that you can demand they comply with their requirements under the license). If you're out for blood, contact the copyright holder.
- mjg59 15y agoYou can demand, but there are no circumstances under which they're obliged to comply. Even the copyright holder can't force that - the most they can do is win damages for infringement and prevent any further distribution.
