Where do you get the idea that only tiny companies aren't complying with the GPL ?
Barnes and Noble, Lenovo, Sony, Bosch, Western Digital, Zyxel have at some point or are currently in violation and that's just from the top of my head.
Also why does the quality of the final product have any bearing on whether the GPL should be enforced or not ? Surely enforcement shouldn't be selective...well beyond perhaps ordering the backlog in terms of number of units distributed but in that case since when does the quality of the final product have any bearing on number of units sold ?
