Assuming you are referring to the responsibilities of the GPL you should
probably read the license (or at least do some basic investigation of
the terms) to see what it actually requires before making these sorts of
accusations.

There are options for applying the GPL which don't require anything like
what you seem to expect. There's certainly no requirement for a link on
ones website when one uses GPL software.

The text of the GPL is freely available. I strongly suggest you go read
it, it's not all that long nor is it particularly full of legalese.

Accusing someone of a license infringement is rather a serious matter
and you really should make sure you know what you are talking about
before doing so.

I think you are totally out of order hounding Alex like this.

Lawyer or otherwise I think you would be well advised to keep your
opinions to yourself until you've actually read the license in question.

Ian.
