Does anyone check the email at that address? I've had occasion to make
licensing enquiries myself at one time or another, but neither I nor
anyone I know has ever received a response to anything sent to that
email address, whether about a violation, or about any other licensing
matter for which we have been directed to it.

Each of these restrictions is GPL-incompatible.
Hi folks,
I'm going to repeat something I wrote a few months back on this topic:
My recommendation is that you make high-quality GPL violation reports to
the [email protected] alias. What I mean by "high quality": the
date which you received the binaries, the date which you requested the
source code, any correspondence that would indicate that compliance is
not forthcoming, and in particular, which part of the GPL you believe
the violator is in violation of. Imagine your email being submitted as
evidence/testimony in a legal action.
Linden Lab will rarely, if ever, publicize legal disputes with third
parties, since that tends to have a negative effect on any conversation
intended to resolve the dispute. So, please don't assume that lack of
public action is the same as lack of action. That said, you should
never assume that we know about a particular violation, or that someone
else has surely already reported all of the information needed to
document the violation in such a way as to make it actionable.
Rob
