Ding ding ding... all the uboot copyright owner needs is a desire to to sue and a lawyer that would take the case on a contingency basis. The company does about 600 million in revenue... so there's a lot of money there.
- interdrift 12y agoThey seem to be awfully out of structure judging by the e-mails of the support team for a company that does 600M.

If a company doesn't comply with the GPL them they don't have a license to the code, and without permission from the copyright owner they're at risk of being found to be infringing. And worse, this risk doesn't go away if the company corrects the behavior (i.e. the period of time where they weren't in compliance with the GPL doesn't just disappear because they are _now_ in compliance).
