Try violation of 17 USC 301.
You cannot violate 301. That's the preemption section, and it just takes copyright cases into federal law. Violation of the GPL is copyright infringement, and it will be treated as such by the federal courts.

It's a license, not a contract, and the terms are not only not impossible, complying with them is extremely easy. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
