Very true, but i guess FSF is probably(correct me if i'm wrong) the only
organisation which keeps a track of GPL violations and does something
about
it.
No, Harald Welte and http://gpl-violations.org/ also keeps track of
gplviolations
Anyone is free to adopt any free software license they want, there's
really no ``signing up" required with anyone.
I was talking about the case when anyone writes "their_own_license"
Only if one has chosen one of
the FSF licenses and are violating it or violating GPL in general then FSF
can take action against the entity concerned.
Not correct. FSF can act only agaist violations of the softwares which it
owns full copyright (that's why most of the official GNU software projects
mandates copyright assignment to FSF - only then FSF can enforce GPL
compliance).
