Monsoon Multimedia, which was subjected to the first US lawsuit on non-compliance with the GPL, has published a press release in which they agree to make any modifications public and thereby complying to the requirements stipulated in the GPL license. "Monsoon Multimedia today announced efforts to fully comply with the GPL. Monsoon is in settlement negotiations with BusyBox to resolve the matter and intends to fully comply with all open-source software license requirements. Monsoon will make modified BusyBox source code publicly available on the company web-site in the coming weeks."

Perhaps because the intent here was to merely get them to comply with the GPL, not tar and feather them and drag their name through the mud?
The MPAA, RIAA, and BSA are fully in attack mode on these things; I suspect the SFLC has no problem with Monsoon Multimedia as long as they follow the rules. There's a difference between wanting compliance and wanting punishment.
