Several companies clarify GPL enforcement policies

Here is apress release from Red Hat on GPL enforcement: "To providegreater predictability to users of open source software, Red Hat, Facebook,Google and IBM today each committed to extending the GPLv3 approach forlicense compliance errors to the software code that each licenses underGPLv2 and LGPLv2.1 and v2." This is, in effect, a reiteration ofthe approach to enforcement recentlyadopted by many kernel developers, but it extends to all GPLv2-licensedsoftware contributed by those companies.
