It might be easy to try the GPL enforcement aspect of it :-)
"PGP Whole Disk Encryption" is using a grub derivative for their boot loader; they admit this and publish the code somewhere, but they don't seem to actually comply with GPL license requirements because you can't build what they publish -- you need a proprietary library to link against.
I know this because at some point I looked at making PGP WDE available on Linux, but there's no documentation of the on-disk format.

Please write up all the details, including specifics about how the build of the source fails due a proprietary dependency and email them to <license-violation@fsf.org>. Thanks.
