Leee, you said "If someone were to redistribute
an altered binary derived from a GPL'd work without making the
corresponding source code available then it is a straightforward
violation of the GPL and that is where the remedy should be sought".
Yet that is exactly what we believe is happening with this FlightProSim company.
"Trying to use the GPL inappropriately, as it seems we are doing
here, is asking for trouble as it could be argued that it is
impossible to comply with the license, making it invalid, and
thereby leaving the FG data material completely unprotected."
What protection is the GPL giving us, if we know of a violator but seem to have
no ability to effect enforcement?
