Reminder that GPLv3 gives you 30 days to "cure the violation," while the GPLv2 Linus Torvalds prefers immediately creates a copyright violation.

Note that GPLv3 still immediately creates a copyright violation. It just states that if you cure the violation within 30 days, the license is reinstated. Under GPLv2 you forfeit your license immediately and in perpetuity if you infringe on it.
