Any chance you could point me to (preferably English) sources for this? "Major DRM company caught pirating software" should make for hilarious evidence in piracy/DRM/copyright debates.

Here's an article on it. https://torrentfreak.com/denuvo-accused-of-using-unlicensed-...

The official word from the company is that the post is wrong and that DENUVO had the right and always will have the right to use their software: https://vmpsoft.com/20170606/vmprotect-and-denuvo-gmbh/

That's a post-settlement statement made 3 months after the original post, which wasn't retracted. Also the company and the original poster are one and the same. It sure looks like they "came to an understanding" that was then sealed with an NDA.
The post on RSDN is the source. Its author is the VMP developer.
