I think if GPL enforcement stopped, all improvement would stop. Why would anyone other than Free Software enthusiasts comply with GPL if there was no chance of enforcement? As it stands, the chances of getting caught violating the GPL are so obviously low that most companies "risk it" anyway. But with zero enforcement, the GPL would become the Apache License. > The honest truth is that the more work you do, the less work i have to > do later when we acquire them :) Spoken like a Googler. :) -- -- bkuhn
