Bet you a dime to a dollar that these same infringing companies are vigorously opposed to GPLv3 with its much more reasonable termination clause. (In GPLv2 your licence is automatically terminated as soon as you violate.) I have no sympathy for them at all. Hoist by their own petard. Don't want our bugfixes to the licence ? Fine, keep the bugs you care about too. I don't think Debian is at significant risk even from the trollish people being discussed here. Ian.
