Hi Joseph,
On one project I've worked on, the company I worked for was
subcontracted to build a particular linux device.
I wonder if your employer could have put a clause in the contract that
the purchaser must comply with the licences of the supplied software?
There was certainly a clause that the purchaser was *responsible* for
complying with the licence, and it was clearly stated that linux would
be used (in fact I think the use of linux was a request from the customer.)
It's an interesting thought though. I'm not sure if it would really be
commercially advantageous to do any more, I doubt anyone would see it as
a wise use of corporate funds to go around suing customers, unless the
owners are particularly into enforcing GPL compliance :-)
