Whatever they paid, they also agreed to change their GPL code to not

All it really indicates is that is was likely a term or result of the
settlement. The underlying reason for the settlement can only be
speculated.
YOU can say that, but what would a jury say? There are a bunch of companies
licensing the FAT system already and here is a company who wanted to fight
originally who surrendered quickly. And you want to bank on the
infinitessimal probability that it was all a mistake?
