So what’s the case law for violations of the GPL? Did anyone get criminally convicted prosecuted for violating any software license at all, and was anyone convicted? I’m only aware of civil suits in this regard.

There are some in the civil side in last decade or so. Of the top of my head - the BusyBox suits from early 2010s - FSF vs Cisco on Linksys code - McHardy case over in germany - Artifex case over Ghostscript
