You do harm to the cause of free software by throwing accusations like this around without backing them up. Again, please be specific: what specific subsections of the GPL do you claim are be violated here, and how? > ..I recommend we get advice from Harald, he has practical experience > that I have only read about on Groklaw, and I'm too damned tired now, > but I would litigate in Utah or some other copyright loving US state if > this perp is or get's near the US. "This perp." You are now referring to this person as having violated the law. Please substantiate this claim -- otherwise you, too, are a "perp". Again, if you can substantiate your accusations of copyright infringement here, please do. Otherwise, you do harm to the very cause you keep claiming you support. I can introduce you to numerous potential (but not actual) users and developers of free software who do not take free software seriously, and thus choose to not use it or to not develop it, because of uncertainty about copyright. For this reason, it is *crucial* that accusations of GPL violations not be tossed around carelessly -- doing so supports an atmosphere of uncertainty that makes it even less likely that folks will want anything to do with free software. If you want to help free software, go after someone 100% full-bore if they have indeed violated the GPL -- but only if you're sure that they've done so. By your attitude and words here, you're apparently sure they've done so. So what's your evidence, and to what subsections of the GPL does it apply? > ..this case is well past "GPL Violation", and fraud. > http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Realistic-Professional-Aviation-Flight-Simulator_W0QQitemZ260053619883QQihZ016QQcategoryZ80336QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem > states "New & Unregistered 100% Legal, Not OEM, Not Trial" instead of > "GPL". What subsection of the GPL requires that advertisements for re-distributions of the product include the fact that the software is covered by the GPL in the advertising itself?
