Hallo zusammen,

In einem interessanten Artikel [1] beschreibt Till Jäger wie
gpl-violations.org die GNU GPL in europäischen und Ländern außerhalb wie
Taiwan, Korea, USA und China durchsetzt.

Hier Tills Fazit:

    The well-established practice of GPL enforcement in Germany and some
    parts of Europe leads to a growing number of GPL compliant products.
    Since embedded systems often contain third party software,
    enforcement cannot stop with legal actions against manufacturers or
    importers of infringing products, but must aim for compliance of the
    complete distribution chain and needs to have a more general
    strategy of information policy for such software developing
    companies and countries. Plenty of documentation exists that can be
    used for providing the software industries all over the world with
    the necessary know-how to avoid GPL violations. Considering the
    increasing use of GPL software in the software market, license
    enforcement will continue being an essential issue in the OSS world.

Falls ihr schon immer mehr über GNU GPL Durchsetzung erfahren wolltet,
dann empfehle ich euch diesen Artikel zu lesen.

Viele Grüße
Matthias
