GnuTLS, copyright assignment, and GNU project governanceGnuTLS, copyright assignment, and GNU project governancePosted Dec 23, 2012 6:34 UTC (Sun) by mjg59 (subscriber, #23239)In reply to: GnuTLS, copyright assignment, and GNU project governance by stevenb Parent article: GnuTLS, copyright assignment, and GNU project governance
Companies don't like having their name attached to negative connotations in places that Google can find, and so they're often more willing to compromise if they know that the outcome will be kept quiet. The question is whether public shaming is likely to prevent other companies from making the same mistakes - the evidence so far is that it doesn't, so keeping things quiet seems fairly reasonable.

My point is that there is *no* shame in resolving an accidental GPL infringement. It's a matter of how you bring the message. You could even just make a list of entities using free software, with non-infringers and ex-infringers in a single list. Just to show where and how often free software is used.
