The Free Software Foundation Europe's Freedom Task Force and GPL-Violations.org have teamed up to produce a guide to reporting and fixing license violations. The guide looks at steps to take as well as resources available for reporting a violation, handling a violation report, and avoiding violations to begin with. "Be careful when reporting a violation. Accusations and suspicions voiced on public mailing lists create uncertainty and do little to solve violations. By checking your facts you can help experts resolve violations quickly."
