The Groklaw quote you mentioned:
you are in the unhappy position of violating the copyrights of the software author

is not 100% correct. More accurately, I believe it should read:
you are in the unhappy position of violating the copyrights of the copyright holder

Of course, most of the time, the author and the copyright holder are one and the same person.
