That was what I thought too, Dennis, when I asked why it mattered that Bookeen hadn't released the GPL sources for the version of Linux running on the Gen3. Nobody's lost any money as a result, so why bother? I am informed by those who claim to know, that "punitive" damages can be awarded even when there is no loss of revenue.
