To put it bluntly anyone who violates the licensing agreement is a 
software pirate.

Software piracy is a criminal activity in most countries, usually with 
some threshold for enforcement - but in the case of embedded systems 
that's trivially reached

So far there has been no criminal enforcement of GPL license violations 
(surprise surprise) but I get the impression that various taiwanese makers 
are edging ever-closer to it....
