Yes. Being accused of copyright violation because you choose not to
respect your "neighbour" is bad PR, so all cases got settled out of
court.

My opinion about those lawyers who say a lot of things (showing little
to no understanding of the GNU GPL) is that they have their right to an
opinion, but I'd enjoy defending myself against them in court over a GNU
GPL issue.

Just imagine the sport headlines:
   0-1: lawyer looses at home against tech

Hugs, Rui
