The FSF thinks 2,100 - 425,000 times actual dahages is excessive!
Well. . . Huh?
It is hard to find places where one can agree with the FSF, but this is
apparently one of them. I think that their plea for monetary compensation
vs Cisco is just boiler plate, i.e. actual vs statutory damage calculations,
and the flaw in the logic goes unnoticed at the FSF. After all, Moglen is
only one guy and he is busy with his work and cannot carefully consider
everything.
It is sort of cutting their own throat, though. If something has no
commercial value, being free as in beer, any case asking for monetary
damages for violating its copyright could simply result in a summary
judgement for zero compensation.
