1. it is time that you either sue or just stop spreading misinformtion. The court has decided many times in many different ways that the wordpress foundation has no legal ground here. This is the most famous and last one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_America,_Inc._v._Google,_Inc.#Second_trial.
Seems like wordpress foundation is the only notable group in the open source world that cheered for oracle.

2. yes, it is lying and people that engage knowingly in that should be shamed, but as most developers are not lawyers and do not consult lawyers I will not be surprised if detailed examination will find many themes and plugins that are also guilty in copyright violation of some kind. For example the license of stackexchange required up to February this year to add a link to the question from which you copied your code from in your code. Most people do not do it and therefor are in copyright violation, and they can not reassign the license to that code and that specific required comment can not be modified which makes it non GPL compliant.
So if you are going to complain about headway please complain about all the others that include some code from SE but still claim that they are GPL.

3. How is treating bad people that dare to do anything which is not GPL protects anything? it is just an abuse of power, nothing more.
