Yoda, do you really think Stallman cares about someone violating GPL if it is not his code. lol Do you really think He want to see GPL used as a club in violation of the spirit of GPL. Which is to provide software at a reasonable $rate. He would not care that one file in what 5, 10 or 15 is GPL when the others are not. One file can not change the copy right on the others. Further a court battle in this arrena could get all the work of the FSF reversed in a flash. Juries and Judges are human and therefore unpredicatable. Stallman and the FSF would avoid that possibility. FSF is an advocate of a way of life not an enforcement agentcy. They have little powere to force anyone to do anything.
