Yes, I think it is important that we present a united front to ClearSight.

However, I wonder to what extent individuals informing them that they are 
in violation of the GPL and distributing the individual's copyrighted code 
without permission or licence will increase the leverage.

After all, they could no longer claim that they didn't know, and willful 
disregard of the law brings larger penalties.
