>many GPL violations are resolved through non-legal means, such as negotiating a license agreement or reaching a settlement outside of court.
And IMHO this is killing the license. Companies are doing the calculations and determining that by the time they get caught they can just negotiate at best and at worst just ignore it and drag things out until it realistically no longer matters. Without teeth no one will follow their obligations.
