That's too glib of an answer in a case like this. If the violator indeed made no-source-nor-offer, they infringed copyright and they are prohibited from future distribution of Linux indefinitely. Your point would only be valid if they'd made a legitimate offer for source *and* had complied in all other ways *and* were no longer distributing the product nor firmware nor any copy of Linux anywhere (e.g., if they went out of business). We admittedly don't know the facts here: I haven't even seen enough evidence yet to know if a GPL violation actually occurred at all. -- bkuhn
