I have noticed the same thing in the last little while. I think that they are doing that to get past some of Mozilla's excellent annoyance blockers (think FlashBlock (a.k.a. "Flash Click to View")).
I think it's time to fork FlashBlock to create a "JavaBlock" extension.
Should be a simple hack (famous last words;-). The only thing I would feel bad about, is further escalating the arms race (between web users and web advertisers).
I just don't understand why so many people are still shackled to fax machines. Buy a scanner, scan your document, and e-mail it.
They will come out the other end with much higher quality *and* the recipient will thank you for giving them the choice as to how to store it (i.e. store it electronically, or print-and-file).
How have you determined that they are violating the GPL?
If you simply know that they have incorporated your code into their software, but you have not acquired a copy of their software (perhaps by purchasing it), you have no rights to their source under the GPL.
Many companies allow you to download the source directly from their website, but really, they don't have to do this. The minimum requirement of the GPL is to provide the source along with the binaries. Providing the source independently is often more convenient for the vendor (and is certainly part of being a good citizen), but it is not actually necessary...
Just be careful you don't start making threats, to later find out that these folks are *in fact* complying with the GPL.
They don't seem to have an e-mail address for the category of "Subversion of the global DNS," so pick one of the following e-mail addresses and use it to CC your complaint to Verisign:

I think SCO has probably "given" him a guard to protect him from himself. Without one, he keeps shooting himself (and SCO) himself in the foot ;).

Just a thought...
What if every slashdotter was to a launch cyber-squatting claim against them? Or better yet, launch a *huge* number of claims against them.

Think about it:
yourdomain.com <---- the only valid name
yuordomain.com
yyourdomain.com
yourdomian.com
yoordomain.com
There are nearly unlimited possibilities.
Do you think they would learn a lesson then? I think they might...
Actually, he seems to be pretty proficient with a computer. :-)
