After jlark's post there's not much more to say.

@Booxtor: As he said already, it's just shortsightedness to think the effort would be greater than the benefit - for all parties involved. Plus even assuming they're not really interested in their Eurpean market, there are still some rules of the game...

The last time I tried contacting them, Onyx didn't respond at all. If you are in contact with them, maybe you could communicate there's enough interest in the issue. They won't have to release the code all at once. We can wait, but there has to be a sign of willingness from Onyx' side.

Maybe it would be best to (again) give them some time. Meanwhile, we could finish gathering information for reporting them. If they don't respond or they refuse, we can go on. First, there's gpl-violations.org. After all, enforcement's up to the copyright holders, so we should contact them, too. For example, FSF and the Software Freedom Conservancy would be the place to go for many of the projects.

At the very least, we just have to do something.
