adds Termination section and Complete and Corre
; https://compliance.guide : Part II A Practical Guide to GPL Compliance
== Termination ==
Compliance ''is'' important obviously, and for a number of reasons. One reason is that under GPLv2, your rights to use (and distribute) are ''automatically'' and irrevocably terminated with violation. The GPLv3 amends this by offering a pathway to cure the violation.
== Vendors ==
BlackDuck here in Massachusetts sells compliance as do other firms like [http://triplecheck.net/ TripleCheck]
=== Criticisms ===
One of the chief criticisms of these vendors is that they do not provide guidance or solutions for meeting the "Complete and Corresponding Source Code" requirement of the licenses. Without providing Complete and Corresponding Source Code, you are not compliant.
Another criticism is that any enforcement action is used as fodder for these companies to heavily market their services and that these vendors are not about preventing or curing Violations.
