[FC-discuss] Free software vs. software-as-a-service

[Fred Beneson]

As far as I understand it the GPL, (like  most other licenses  
including CC, etc.) doesn't require prosecution explicitly in the case  
of a violation of its terms, so much as it requires a cessation of  
distribution of the binaries  or offending files.

IANAL,
