Defender of the Linux faith

News.com has an interesting article titled Defender of the Linux faith | CNET News.com about Harald Welte and his work on http://gpl-violations-org">gpl-violations.org

Since setting up the project, Welte has made 25 agreements with companies that were violating the GPL, as well as setting up two preliminary injunctions and one court order. Each of these companies used GPL code without making the altered source code available--a requirement of the licence.
