Not if your use of Rails is limited to your own/your company's own servers, which I imagine most Rails users are. Please don't fall for the flamebait.

If they were using GPLv3, they would have an entire month (30 days) to cure the violation.

GitHub Enterprise is in violation as it is distributed to third-parties.

Thanks, edited for clarity. In this case it's GPLv2, so no "cure the violation" clause.

However, even if this were GPLv3, and you were to "cure the violation" that only reinstates your license i.e. the GPLv3 license. Replacing a dependency won't make previously infringing releases any less infringing.
