Lawyers always get paid. And money is fungible. So as I thought,
this is merely wishful thinking on your part.
As part of a settlement agreement, the plaintiffs are paying
the defendants a rather handsome service fee to publish the
source code on the defendants' servers.
You would like to believe this, and you would like the rest of us
to believe this, but you have no evidence that it is true.
It's written up in the settlements -- the same settlements you seem
to be privy to.
In each and every case where the SFLC filed suit the source code is
hosted on the defendant's server (except Verizon who told the SFLC
to kiss their royal purple ass). It is certainly reasonable to
believe, in light of no registered copyrights for the plaintiffs
standing, that the losing plaintiffs agreed to lucrative contracts
for the defendants to host the plaintiffs' code in addition to
paying defendants' legal costs.
No defendant has ever filed a voluntary dismissal to prevent
review on the merits
Well, duh. Defendants don't get to file voluntary dismissals.
Well, duh. Thanks for emphasizing my point.
Sincerely,
Rjack :)
