"Sue" doesn't necessarily mean take legal action (else peacemaking would be a judicial process in English); but in any case, you're reading too narrow a meaning into my words. We mean the same thing - if you haven't heard within two months, your legal worries are over. That is the point I think is an important improvement in GPLv3. > Remember you are not required to release the keys if you really don't > want to, you can also just stop distribution, and that's a good enough > remedy under the GPL. Not necessarily - it's not up to the GPL, it's up to the author. The current GPL doesn't limit damages in situations where the agreement is broken, as far as I know. The aforementioned 60-day rule is the first time such a limitation has been built into the licence.
