Darl McBride is making vague claims over software he didn't create, and suing over it. We're making specific claims over software we did create; we are in the right to be doing this.

I use Darl McBride as role model example here. Everyone in the Linux/FOSS
camp hates this guy. Don't become the most hated GPL law-enforcer in a
total insane GPL software abuse witch-hunt, is what i ment to say. It
will earn you some cash (remains to be seen) but be carefull not to earn
global hatred too. Don't send your seize and desist GPL-enforcement
letter to any software company which you know to exist. Only come in
action when known _proof_ of GPL abuse does exist.

No one is doing that. All the cases pursued are clear violations of the GPL. Money be damned, I want free code.
