Law and Order The Software Freedom Law Center has filed the first US infringement case to defend the General Public License version 2. The case has been brought against Monsoon Multimedia, a specialist in video viewing and capturing devices, which has offices in Silicon Valley and in New Delhi. SFLC legal director Dan Ravicher told The Register: "This case could have far-reaching implications because it's the first case in the US to enforce copyright in GPL."

Read section 5 of GPL3 or section 2 of GPL2. I'm assuming they made modifications.

But then, I recommend reading the GPL if for no other reason than entertainment value.
