To be honest, if they haven't responded to you, I doubt they would respond to me either. However they really should respond to an official letter from the copyright holder, which is the Free Software Foundation (FSF). I recommend you follow https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html and email the address on that webpage. They should be able to help you. Thanks, Jifl
