If, as alleged they took copyrighted code from an author and did not obey the license under which it was released should VMWare be allowed to slide? Ready to defend copyright?

They set the trap by claiming their software is “free” but if anyone uses it to make any money expect them to come crashing your door down that you violated their license

Can you post a link to FSF going after RedHat or Google who make money on GPL software? FSF goes after people who (a) Cant Read, (b) Dont Read, or (c) Try to steal copyrighted material.

No it’s a perfect example they’ll make those accusations even without proof. VMware had a successful IPO so the software communists come out to smear them and demand they hand their software over.
