So now the detractors can still say “The GPL has never been upheld in a US court.”

"Since we intend to and always intended to comply with all open source software license requirements, we are confident that the matter will be quickly resolved," That's also BS. It would have never gotten this far if Monsoon intended to respect the copyrights of the authors. Only a lawsuit made them realize that free software is protected just as well as proprietary software.

Before this is misunderstood, The suit was because they modified code that was given to them. This was not code they created that runs on Linux.
If you modify Open Source software written by others, you have to publish the changes. If you get Free software you can run it freely. If you write your own software you can give it away, keep it, or run it.
