Il y a un autre domaine qui tend a grandir a mesure que les logiciels libres sont utilisé ... La veille informationnelle juridique :)
En gros s'assurer que les organisations qui utilisent les LL respectent bien les licences libres auxquelles elles sont soumises (sources , nom de l'auteur , licence inclus avec le produit etc ... )
If you think you see a violation of the GNU GPL, LGPL, AGPL, or FDL, the first thing you should do is double-check the facts:
* Does the distribution contain a copy of the License?
* Does it clearly state which software is covered by the License? Does it say anything misleading, perhaps giving the impression that something is covered by the License when in fact it is not?
* Is source code included in the distribution?
* Is a written offer for source code included with a distribution of just binaries?
* Is the available source code complete, or is it designed for linking in other non-free modules?
If there seems to be a real violation, the next thing you need to do is record the details carefully:
* the precise name of the product
* the name of the person or organization distributing it
* email addresses, postal addresses and phone numbers for how to contact the distributor(s)
* the exact name of the package whose license is violated
* how the license was violated:
o Is the copyright notice of the copyright holder included?
o Is the source code completely missing?
o Does the written offer for source, if given, only give a website and/or FTP site where to download the source?
o Is there a copy of the license included in the distribution?
o Is some of the source available, but not all? If so, what parts are missing?
The more of these details that you have, the easier it is for the copyright holder to pursue the matter.
Once you have collected the details, you should send a precise report to the copyright holder of the packages that are being misused.

Je vais pas rappeler le fameux site de http://gpl-violations.org/ , d'autre part il y a aussi une liste de questions assez simple a répondre , sur le site gnu ( http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html ) lorsqu'on constate une infraction à la licence GPL (dans ce cas ci )
