If they're breaking the license, go talk to a lawyer. You might start by approaching the SFLC [1] (although I haven't heard much from them recently).

Sometimes social pressure can be a cheaper approach, time will tell if it'll work in this case :)
I would suggest Software Freedom Conservancy instead:

Is there any for profit law firm which works without fee in cases like these and split the earnings? Needing to pay lawyer upfront makes it hard for individuals to sue mega corp even if they were clearly wronged.
