Talking to McHardy & misplaced blame for his actions

Old code can still be valuable code.

As for egregious, perhaps in the first instance it was not the reseller. However, his copyright was still being infringed upon egregiously by someone, somewhere upstream of the reseller. If I understand Bradley correctly, at that point McHardy does *not* get any significant money from them, and the reseller /is/ told about their GPL obligations, and they do sign up to becoming compliant.

The second instance, the reseller clearly can not claim to be unaware. That's the entire reason McHardy can at that point get more significant damages. I find it hard, on the face of those facts, to have much sympathy for these resellers - it seems to me they *chose* to keep infringing.

We've heard a lot about McHardy and his actions, though still very filtered paraphrasings (it would be really good if Bradley and/or others could make the copies of the agreements public, mod redactions of clearly identifying details).

We've heard very little detail though about these repeat GPL violators, who are supposedly so innocent. I'm a little sceptical on that.
