Since the GPL type license agreements push the liability to the users, who do you go after? I think this is a key problem.
The GPL does nothing of the sort. Any liability for IP infringement in products released under the GPL is still on the contributor and relief for IP infringement still involves removing the infringing portion.
The solution to your "key problem", Mr. Anderers, is to establish some sanity in IP legislation and to move away from the 100x return model that some companies seem to apply to what currently passes for IP. The current environment is about companies wanting money for nothing.
