You know what's an even bigger monetary sting than having to pay a percentage? A court order banning the sale of your product entirely until such time as you get into compliance with the GPL to the plaintiff's and judge's satisfaction. And in fact, that is the single relief usually requested in a GPL violation case - a ban on the offending product's distribution until the company complies. And violating a direct court order like that is something that no company that intends to stay in business wants to even try to get away with - it's a really good way to have the judge have a hissy fit and throw all your top corporate officers in the slammer for contempt of court.
