Who knows, I might be copying under a fair use exception. Anyway, ignoring the license means you have no valid license to do what you are doing. Without a valid license, you violate copyright law. Like you say: > Wrong. See section 5. Not complying with the GNU GPL is a violation > of the law, and you can be sued accordingly. You get sued for copyright infringement. You get convicted and have to pay compensation, maybe go to jail. The point is: you will not get ordered to start complying with the GPL.
