Yes, the main problem is with the lack of enforcement of Linux's license due to a lack of cooperation with many of its copyright holders (who are quite happy for the users freedom to be taken).
The licenses on GNU software under strong licenses tends to be much better enforced - I see almost no infringement of GNU software (as the FSF does pursue any of such cases of infringement).
More licenses do need to be permanently terminated and damages need to be pursued if the problem is to be solved (if the copyright holder(s) don't terminate the license on intentional infringement and make it clear that they will not tolerate any future distribution, why would a copyright infringer stop distributing?).
"This Vizio TV runs on Linux, an operating system" - why does that page contain a false claim that you know is false?
Does the Vizio TV also ship BusyBox? If so, Vizio TV's run BusyBux/Linux.
