Thanks to everyone for all the support so far! An unexpected growth of views boomed :) 59 supporters of the petition, over 250 upvotes on Linux subreddit, over 50 more on 10 more different subreddits, around 3000 views of Reddit posts and the petition. It's going pretty well! All thanks to your sharing and Reddit upvotes. As we are progressing, questions and doubts arise. I'd like to answer those: 1. If Chaozhuo violates the GPL license then why not sue them? Simple answer - I don't have time, money, desire or faith for this. I'm using the tools and resources I think are most optimal and effective. History and experience give proof that persuasion and creating awareness is one of best methods. I believe that once Chaozhuo realizes how many of us want to help with Phoenix OS, they'll cooperate more. 2. Why not report Chaozhuo for violating GPL? Actually that's what I'm working on now. I'm going to report them to all possible authorities taking care of respecting GPL. If any of you want to help, let me know in comments - just sending names of authorities will be great. What have I been upto: 1. I've been constantly updating the petition page with slight modifications. It's considerably different from the initial version, so if you are with me since the beginning, I advise you to read it again. 2. I've been spreading the news all over - mostly Reddit, chats and Facebook. It worked great :) What's coming next? 1. I'm going to add a TL;DR version of the petition fulltext later today. 2. Petition letter Today or tomorrow I'll prepare the petition letter which will be sent to Phoenix OS automatically after the petition raises 100 signatures. 3. Sharing I keep doing what I can to deplete all the possible ways to spread the word. More forum threads and sending links on chats and IRCs is coming. Help me spread the word and get the rest of signatures by sharing: 1. My Facebook link with all the useful hashtags. https://goo.gl/E9EvHH 2. Using the built-in change.org share feature. 3. Reddit posts on 11 different subreddits: https://redd.it/6x8dz3 https://redd.it/6x8gfh https://redd.it/6x842e https://redd.it/6x98n7 https://redd.it/6x9b2w https://redd.it/6x9din https://redd.it/6xd24p https://redd.it/6xd6ib https://redd.it/6xd7vq https://redd.it/6xd50p https://redd.it/6xd3tn 4.
