There was also a successful prosecution in the states recently . So it not necessarily the case that all you can do is say "pretty please". Here's what appeared on YAFFS mailing list earlier this week. Dear Readers, Aleph One Limited discovered a Far-Eastern company selling data-management hardware through a distributor in Europe that used YAFFS in the software, under GPL. We asked the distributor for sight of the Source Code and they were unable to provide it. With the assistance of the law firms Moorcrofts in Marlow, England, and JBB Rechtsanwalte in Berlin, we pursued the matter with the distributor and negotiated a financial settlement, including an element for damages, to our satisfaction. We are always ready to discuss suitable terms of a Licence to use YAFFS.
