There are some experimental licenses that have such a requirement, but the Linux kernel is not licensed under such a license. If you are aware that a company has made modifications and is shipping code (i.e., making copies as defined by local copyright law), then you can certainly talk to people who are interested in enforcing the GPL. But the LKML isn't a proper venue for such discussion. Cheers, - Ted
