I have been with multiple different communities that had GPL and other licensed code stolen for profit in proprietary programs. In all instances, the FSF, SFC and EFF were all contacted and nobody cared.

at least the SFC did some enforcing that worked, but i got the feeling these organisations are too "nice" , If the case is a slam dunk maybe it is possible to get a lawyer who will work by getting a large percentage of the earnings.
