The first lawsuit for GPL violation in the USA has been filed yesterday against Monsoon Multimedia, who were distributing busybox without making the source code available. This appears to be primarily a precedent-setting action, since MM had already acknowledged that they were using GPL source code in their product(s). If SFLC (the complainant) wins an injunction, it would be a big step for GPL compliance in the US, and hopefully could also be used to get a precedent in India and other countries.
