Generally speaking, violation of a license constitutes copyright

    Copyright holders who engage in open source licensing have
    the right to control the modification and distribution of
    copyrighted material. ... Copyright licenses are designed
    to support the right to exclude; money damages alone do not
    support or enforce that right. The choice to exact
    consideration in the form of compliance with the open source
    requirements of disclosure and explanation of changes, rather
    than as a dollar-denominated fee, is entitled to no less legal
    recognition.

Court vs. crank. Court wins.
