Often when binaries are decompiled specific internal structures and code can be exposed and that can be used for comparison to source code to make an argument in court. Thats established case law already.
Either way it involves the person’s with the GPL copy right taking a company to court. IE openwrt comes from linksys taking the Linux kernel and BusyBox source. Both are GPL.
IDK but I agree with you about the GPL
If someone steals a GPL project what can be done to demonstrate that it’s stolen and not just very similar but their own creation?
