That's an interesting point. What exactly would you sue for? In Israel
you can only claim damages equal to the amount you were actually
damaged. Not only that, but buying an infringing work is not illegal
in Israel.
AFAIK there is no requirement for the GPL notification, offer of
source code, etc to be in any particular language. Can you say with
100% certainty that it is not included in the Chinese documentation
you (or the importer) threw out unread? Or that if you went into setup
and clicked on ABOUT, you would not see such a message?
Finally why not? Almost everything I have bought here that includes a
GPL notification does so in English (not Hebrew) and points to a web
site for information on how to obtain source code.

To help restaurants, as part of the "stimulus package", everyone must
order dessert. As part of the socialized health plan, you are
forbidden to eat it. :-)
