Haha! Me, too...  ;-)

Just saying, if I did something wrong, without being
aware of that, I'd very much appreciate getting a hint
and a chance to rectify the problem, before being shot
at by lawyers. There's a gigantic difference between
intentional and unintentional violation.

One solution would be to prepare a reasonably friendly
but very clear email text, fitting all violation situations and
sending that email out to all newly found violations first.
Then if nothing changes within e.g. 7 days, pass the case
on to the lawyers. Sending such an email should then
only cost 2 minutes of your time.

How about something like this:

"Dear developer,

we've been notified that your project currently does not
fulfill all LGPL / GPL license requirements. This is a
friendly notification. Please double check your license
requirements and make sure that everything is in order.
If you're unsure, feel free to ask for help here:

[...]  (newslist url?)

We will check if you fixed the problems in 7 days from
now. If the problem is not fixed by then, as much as we
hate to do that, we will have no choice but to pass the
case on to our lawyers.

Thanks for your understanding and best regards,

libav project"

Or something like that. English is not my native language,
so somebody may want to proof read that.

Best regards, Mathias.
