in a purely hypothetical scenario (TM), what if the possible violator doesn't care? Or because of the complexity of the matter, that no prosecution is ever likely - especially in his own country, etc?

To me, one of the more compelling arguments for considering GPLv3 is "When the Rules Are Broken: A Smooth Path to Compliance". We have been engaged of late in a parallel discussion regarding a possible violation of the Sugar GPLv2. If this were actually to be the case, the violator will have to go through a quite painful process of petitioning *all* copyright holders for a formal restoration of the license. Under the 'good behavior' clause of the GPLv3, the licence can be restored simply by deploying a remedy. Making it easy to recover from your mistakes is in the spirit of Sugar and our pedagogical model. regards. -walter
