"We have received an email claiming that the Kororaa Xgl Live CD is in violation of the GPL. I have been researching this as much as I can, asking many prominent people in the Linux world for their opinion. So far, no-one has agreed with the email, however a few have said to seek legal advice, which I cannot afford to do (but can't afford not to do, if I want to continue the Live CD). As such, the Live CD has been put on hold, until I can sort this out. If I cannot sort this out I will be forced to cease work on the Xgl Live CD."

I don't know about anybody else, but I sure as Hell wouldn't be overly concerned about an unsolicited e-mail message from someone (it would be nice to know who sent it) stating I should stop doing something because it violates portions of the GPL.
If there is an "license enforcement arm" of the Linux community, shouldn't they be responding through snail mail or a process server with a Cease and Decist order? That's how the big boys do it.
