Enforcement of the GPL was done way back in 2003 against Linksys and resulted in the OpenWRT project. In Europe the GPL Violations project brought a lot of other cases. So there is plenty of precedent. The principles the FSF and Software Freedom Conservancy use when doing enforcement actions emphasise using legal action as a last resort and not prioritising financial gain (they usually just ask for legal costs and costs for verifying the violation).
