Creality violating Klipper license?

I’ve been in the situation of dealing with violating Chinese “companies” and you’ll find that even when you have them dead to rights there’s no practical recourse; Chinese brands tend to be no more than a shell for a larger conglomerate and if there is any kind of significant financial liability they declare them bankrupt and resume operations with a new company/shell.

What “significant financial liability” means is around $2M to $5M out of pocket. Anything less than that then they’ll ignore rulings, foreign court orders, etc. and carry on as if nothing has happened.

I’ve been watching this thread with interest; I don’t think there’s much of a stick that can be used to get companies like Creality into compliance and efforts to bring them into line when it comes to the GPL will effectively come to naught.
