Defender de manera "comunitaria" o "social" pero no legalmente. Es la FSF si 
vos ponés el copyright bajo la FSF, sino vos sos el autor, sos el único 
habilitado legalmente para hacer las acciones legales. Fijate que en:

http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html

dice

"Note that the GPL, and other copyleft licenses, are copyright licenses. This 
means that only the copyright holders are empowered to act against 
violations. The FSF acts on all GPL violations reported on FSF copyrighted 
code, and we offer assistance to any other copyright holder who wishes to do 
the same. 

But, we cannot act on our own if we do not hold copyright. Thus, be sure to 
find out who the copyright holders of the software are before reporting a 
violation. "

Y en http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ReportingViolation dice:

"What should I do if I discover a possible violation of the GPL?

You should report it. First, check the facts as best you can. Then tell the 
publisher or copyright holder of the specific GPL-covered program. If that is 
the Free Software Foundation, write to <license-violation en gnu.org>. 
Otherwise, the program's maintainer may be the copyright holder, or else 
could tell you how to contact the copyright holder, so report it to the 
maintainer. "

Lo que sí es verdad es que no creo que existan abogados en el mundo que estén 
tan capacitados para defender este tipo de casos como los de la FSF.
