Uh what? <URL:http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/linux/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=206904096> "As part of the settlement announced Monday, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) subcontractor Actiontec Electronics must pay an undisclosed sum to developers Erick Andersen and Rob Landley. It must also appoint an internal officer to ensure that it's in compliance with licenses governing the open source software it uses. " As long as Verizon stays in compliance with the settlement terms, yes, the court will not hear the case again.
