Thanks for the report.
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,
