Who has the power to enforce the GPL?
Since the GPL is a copyright license, the copyright holders of the software
are the ones who have the power to enforce the GPL. If you see a violation
of the GPL, you should inform the developers of the GPL-covered software
involved. They either are the copyright holders, or are connected with the
copyright holders.
