I know of one owner of GPL'd code (and an Empeg user) contained in the Empeg who would complain most strongly if those tactics were used regarding their code.

I have to ask if these people who are taking it onto themselves, to test the GPL
with companies using code released under it, have anthing approaching a real life :-)

They could spend their time much more productively creating new tools and applications.

There are those who work to the specific letter of the law and there are those
who work in the spirit of the law. The code is written in the spirit of the law, I would have hoped that people used it in the same spirit rather than having people forcing issues because they 'have the right' to do so.

I have right of way when crossing the road. That doesn't mean I enforce that right when ever possible.
