You say I take umbrage from people who say crap like 'Google makes money off other peoples violation of the gpl'.

Which bit of that isn't true? Does Google turn off advert revenue from devices which violate the GPL?

The statement "Google makes money off other peoples violation of the gpl" means "(Google makes money) [because of / from] (other peoples /violation/ (of the gpl))", not "(Google makes money) [because of / from] (other /people/ (who violate the gpl))", which is a fundamentally different moral question (one that rapidly argues for your local supermarket to stop selling food to people whose morals they disagree with, which honestly is something I find scary).
