 	Additionally, each infringement after the rights to 
redistribute under the GPL are considered a separate copyright 
infringement, subject to individual penalties on its own.

 	Has the OpenWRT project submitted an official copyright 
registration with the relevant copyright office in the country of the 
project's origin? (assuming the Unites States here).

 	Doing so, and filling out the paperwork, sending in the 
portions of the source and paying the fee makes it markedly easier to 
prosecute in a court of law, should it need to go to that level.
