Ahhhh... What actually happened? Were you a neutral witness to the
"settlement agreement" between Cisco and FSF? Perhaps you have read a
signed and docketed copy of the settlement agreement?

When there is no docketed settlement agreement and the plaintiff
dismisses his case WITH PREDJUDICE, then you think the plaintiff is
entitled to his unchallenged version of success?

"Capitulation or settlement is the practical equivalent of success.
Surrender by the plaintiff should be treated similarly." Szabo Food
Service, Inc. v. Canteen Corp., 823 F.2d 1073, 1081 (7th Cir. 1987).

Sincerely,
Rjack :)
