How would you pay for the bounty? It seems hard to argue that you sustained any damages in the violation, and that's usually the only thing you can ask for in a civil suit. Additionally, you just invented another thing for developers to maintain.
- baq 2y agoAh gotta love the percentage of gross revenue clause of the GPL in the violations section.

- hiAndrewQuinn 2y agoYup, as hinted at in my comment. Seems tough. They could sue or try to settle out of court to get the company's own code to get licensed under the GPL, which seems like something they'd want as well. In that sense an open bounty is like putting a price tag on how much you really care, in terms of hours of your life you're willing to spend (indirectly) enforcing the rules you have set.
