GNU Public Theme Park thefts!

It is with great sadness that we must announce today that we have confirmed at least 17 incidents in which rides or portions of rides that are showcased in the GNU Public Area at the GNU Public Theme Park in Corpus Christi, Texas, have been stolen and used at other theme parks not adhering to the open-source ideal. (For the curious, this count does not include the TORSO reality simulator ride stolen in the Quisling incident, as that stolen ride was not subsequently marketed or used for commercial gain.) We are pleased, however, that we have not been able to link a single incident to supporters of the Unholy Brotherhood of the Hole Punch, which implies that it is not (yet) in their strategy to bring us down.

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not committed to justice, which is why we are actively pursuing appropriate compensation in all of these cases. Our lawyers are advising us not to comment further on the specifics of these 17 cases, but we would like to issue a warning to all of you ride pirates out there: we are watching you!
