SubjectWould like to form a pool of Linux copyright holders for faster GPL enforcement against Anthrax Kernels
Would anyone be interested in forming such a pool? I am willing to wait 
years for this to be resolved through certain organizations, but I
believe we can do better.

Last I checked, I have 1 long-time poster of this list on board. Would
anyone else like to join? Ideally I'd like to get the LKML (which I have
CC'd) involved so that authors of critical Linux components be a part of
this. I'm not sure if my defconfig commits to Android kernel branches
count as contributions, so I'm not going to consider myself a Linux
contributor unless told otherwise.

This pool would be used in the following manner:

* Formally requesting source for binaries (means to request source
* Formally requesting removal of critical copyrighted code that Linux
cannot function without
* Informing interested parties with respect to refusals of the above

The CTO of Anthrax's hosting server is very interested in terminating
Chad Goodman's account. Bullet point #3 might come into effect here.

If this is a bad idea, uses incorrect logic, or does not follow the
conventions of GPL enforcement, feel free to shoot this idea down with
utmost prejudice.
