Re: FSF continuously harms Free Hardware

   The FSF is the copyright holder for the GPL and not the Ender 3.

     Copyright can only be enforced by the copyright holders of a work
     (who, in principle, can allow any party to violate any term of the
     license if they wish to do so).
     Are you a copyright holder of Ender-3? If so, and if you are not a
     lawyer yourself, get a lawyer involved, if you haven't yet. Don't
     threaten to get a lawyer, don't wait before you do.

     The correct thing to do for anyone other than the copyright holder,
     when they see a violation, is, for those who are not the copyright
     holders, t

     o report it to the copyright holders, since they can enforce

     it and they know if they gave any license exception to any party
     (note: GIMP disagrees with me on this, but they also disagree with
     making a public statement:
     [6]https://www.gimp.org/about/selling.html).
     The correct approach for the copyright holder is to get a lawyer
     immediately, before anything else (before writing to the violator
     and
     before making public statements, for sure) and then do whatever the
     lawyer says.
