Misuse of the GPL gets you a letter
13 vendors of commercial software and apppliance products received an open warning letter at CeBIT urging them to comply with the terms of the GPL licensed software they use.

Harald Welte managed to achieve a widely publicized injunction for a GPL infringement last year.
