Summary: New video outlines an ongoing pursuit for compliance from Samsung, which is part of Microsoft's patent racket
Our reader Ryan Farmer ("DaemonFC") has been on the case for several weeks now and finally he got Samsung to admit that it's violating the GPL licence.
It seems that SFLC is suing them too, along with Best Buy and Westinghouse:

The interesting thing about violating the GPLv2 is that you then lose all rights to distribute anything under the GPLv2, until your rights are explicitly re-instated by the copyright holders you violated the license of. This legally speaking means that Samsung has lost the right to ship any product running Linux, until they get re-instated. This is something which was changed in the GPLv3, your rights get re-instated when you come into compliance.

The kingdom is a cross-border phenomenon, so national flags and other such symbolism overlook the core problem [...] Free Software can help lead us out of the current imbalances
