I get mad triggered by software license violation discussions.
Please for the love of all that the FSF thinks is holy - just file a damn lawsuit if you are telling me they are violating the law. State your claim and have a court sort it out.
It costs hundreds of dollars. For a medical device? Seems like a good deal.
The OP almost certainly isn’t a copyright holder for the Linux kernel. They probably would have said if they were.
The theory is being tested that you don't need to be a copyright holder to file a lawsuit https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html
Then why are they trying to enforce copyright/contract law without standing?
Making a blog post about someone elses copyright being violated is even more annoying to me.
Huh, they’re not. You’re the one saying they should.

I’ve personally never seen a lawsuit cost less than a few grand in legal fees even for small time bully defense.
This one. That's what the filing fees are for a lawsuit like this. There's no rule saying you have to pay a lawyer to write a statement of claim.
Edit:
Courts deal with contract law disputes all the time. It's their bread and butter, everyday, nothing special stuff.

Is that also what it costs when you lose and the court makes you pay their lawyer time?
