The gpl-violations.org project

The gpl-violations.org project tries to raise public awareness about past and present infringing use(r)s of GPL licensed software.

The ultimate goal is to make companies engaging in the distribution of products based on GPL licensed software understand that GPL is not public domain, and that there are license conditions that are to be fulfilled.

The project wants to act as information and communication platform between all parties involved with licensing of free software:

  • authors and copyright holders

  • vendors, OEM's, VAR's

  • users

Please note that this homepage is not maintained very well. We're so busy in both technically and legally resolving GPL violations that there's hardly any time left to keep this page up-to-date.
