..the GPLs does not require showing BSD-style cred fly-by screens,
they (v2, v2-and-later, v3 etc) merely require source code offering
etc compliance, or-I-pick-up-my-toys-and-go-home, leaving any and
all culprits in criminal violation of copyright law, which may be
just why Microsoft spent around US $4Billion over 11 years on proxy
litigation in Utah and Delaware courts to try (get away from failing
to) defeat the GPLv2, if I can believe my own estimate from my
http://groklaw.net experience.
