The kernel community confronts GPL enforcement

It looks like a simple issue that transformed into drama due to the attitudes on the lkml.

It is obvious that there will be cases that the GPL will have to be enforced. Was accepted by the other side in the end.

The SFLC will only undertake a case if they have the support of copyright owners, not on their own volition.

Note that there exists a different organization known as "SFLC", but the linked discussion occurred with the Software Freedom Conservancy (or just "Conservancy"), which specifically avoids using the acronym "SFC" to avoid confusion with SFLC.
