Look at the SFLC website for a complete list.  Typically, some company, for 
example Monsoon, uses stock FOSS stuff in their product, which is what the 
FOSS folk seem to want them to do, and one of the FOSS authors, BusyBox, 
jumps their bones about not publishing the BusyBox source even though it was 
not modified in any way in the Monsoon Hava products.  Monsoon is a hand to 
mouth sort of organization to begin with and immediately complies with a 
totally useless exercise that only satisfies the letter of the 
contract/license and provides no real benefit to anyone.  They lost some 
time and money that they cannot easily afford and the community gains 
nothing of any use.
