Are you a copyright holder of Ender-3? If so, and if you are not a lawyer yourself, get a lawyer involved, if you haven't yet. Don't threaten to get a lawyer, don't wait before you do. Is the FSF a copyright holder of Ender-3? If not, they cannot enforce the license. The correct thing to do for anyone other than the copyright holder, when they see a violation, is, for those who are not the copyright holders, t o report it to the copyright holders, since they can enforce it and they know if they gave any license exception to any party (note: GIMP disagrees with me on this, but they also disagree with making a public statement: [6]https://www.gimp.org/about/selling.html). The correct approach for the copyright holder is to get a lawyer immediately, before anything else (before writing to the violator and before making public statements, for sure) and then do whatever the lawyer says. -- Jacob Hrbek _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [7]libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org [8]https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss References 1. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt 2. https://fsf.org/ 3. https://cfcgiving.opm.gov/ 4. https://github.com/Creality3DPrinting/Ender-3/blob/master/LICENSE#L4 5. https://github.com/Homers3D/Tevo-Tornado/issues/5 6. https://www.gimp.org/about/selling.html 7. mailto:libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org 8. https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
