If these people have created proprietary code that they are selling
outside the terms of the GPL, then the Free Software Foundation (FSF)
needs to be contacted. Richard Stallman formed the FSF and had the
GPL formulated by the FSF's legal staff expressly to prevent the
distribution of FSF works, or works derived from them, outside of the
provisions of the GPL.
