Please do. We need to do this for copyleft. I'm surprised FSF and SFC haven't already start going at these companies in defence of copyleft. Copyright I'm a bit sceptical all as it's really about enrichment of the owner, copyleft is about the enrichment of the commons. But it's all the same law.
They probably haven't pursued legal action yet due to the current domination of right-wing mindsets - notoriously pro big money & power (until it hurts them personally). Particularly of concern is any precedent set by the current US Supreme Court which was shamelessly stacked forcefully by Mitch McConnell (and I'll forever be pissed at Obama for letting him without a fight).
Big money is very much "copyright for me and not for thee". Which feeds into broken legal systems, especially the US's.
