Ditto for 2, 3 etc grumpies, who may set their own personal conditions as they damned well please, e.g. Peace on Earth, UEFI boot specs for all OS'es, Islamic interest rates on mortgages, hot kinky women, or FG on the GPLv3. ;o) ..so, all we need, is e.g. an Ubuntu violation of each of FG, busybox, Linux kernel, or any other GPLv2 copyright violation, tip off the owners, so they can take it to the cops, and, report it, properly, as _software_piracy_, which is _exactly_ what GPLv2 violations, are. Cops and courts must be told so, so they can do the right things about it. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
