You're a smart guy, but you've been blinded by your own zealotry. Your categorization of compliance violations matters not one wit. The easiness of compliance matters not at all. The history or future intention of compliance or non-compliance matters not at all. You have no idea how large companies are run, and I don't have the time to educate you.

In particular, people who follow all licenses, Sony among them, are most definitely negatively affected by this litigation (or at least the people who want to work on Linux in them are, myself included).

It's not possible to have a rational discussion with you, if you won't take me at my word. You are too busy trying to make your points to listen. So I'm out...
