For GPL software? You just ask the EFF or FSF.

They like to destroy idiotic companies.



The FSF only goes after folks that violate software they own the copyright on. The EFF and SFLC only help non-profits and only in very specific circumstances.


FSF will ask you to assign copyright to them in those cases.


I believe the FSF only sues over code the FSF itself owns the copyright to, rather than acting as a general GPL-enforcement agency, since their lawyers feel themselves on more solid footing in that situation.
