Let's say you grab some GPL code and use it willy-nilly, without
attribution, without reproducing the license, without providing
any source.

Sure, you'd be unpopular among many free/open source people.
But would there, could there be a legal prosecution? Who would
have to bring that case and what damages might apply? Has
there ever been such a court prosecution?

Just wondering.
