I, as well, pretty much agree with most of the things that have been said
in the "lawsuits shouldn't be a regular tool to excercise GPL validity,
there are a lot of other options which are more useful at the end of the
day" tone.
However, to be fair -- isn't what you've written above exactly what SFC
has been doing? Please correct me if I am wrong, but they are not
executing any legal actions "on their own", are they? There always has to
be someone from the community coming to them and initiating the trigger
actions.
Now, if that is seen as a real problem, then a KS session just in between
developers / maintainers, to shake out all the possibilities for Mr. Joe
Developer in case of having really bad feelings about his code being
misused, might be really helpful.
