This is not true, please stop spreading this wrong claim.

Yes.
Note that as somebody who is rather outspoken but not a native speaker
your email sounds to
me as if you are trying to bad-mouth Amazon: Do you believe that they
did not handle above
ticket correctly? Or do I simply misunderstand?

> (In this case, NDI plugin is already open source).

No.
If this were true, there would be no license violation.

Do I understand correctly that you write twice in your long text that
the license violation is
ongoing, but not done by NDI? This would make no sense to me, could
you elaborate?

And finally: What do you suggest to "punish the violator"?

Sorry, your mail is very difficult to understand, Carl Eugen
