If they (somehow) won or GNOME foundation settled, could they use that precedent to go after juicier targets? Maybe their strategy was to pick a "poor target" to set that precedent? Disclaimer: I don't know anything in this space. |

If they get a judgment against GNOME for violating this patent, it would make a lot of news and likely be appealed. Getting to a final precedent in favor of patent infringement would take years, sinking lots of lawyer dollars into the effort, and the whole process is fraught with an enormous amount of risk.
I just don't see them having that kind of long play in their playbook. But I don't know anyone involved... It could be they are acting stupid but are really smart?
