So, again, why is SFLC suing Verizon?
The SFLC lawyers are suing Verizon because they haven't the slightest idea how Copyright law works and are praying that a bluff will work The suits that have been filed are absolute propaganda bullshit intended to intimidate folks. Verizon told them to stuff it and the SFLC dismissed WITH PREJUDICE because they didn't want to pay Verizon's attorney fees and court costs. There have never been any enforceable settlements resulting from these suits. There isn't a modicum of evidence that the "victories" claimed by the SFLC are anything other than self-serving crap. Those making extraordinary claims bear the burden of proof -- which in the case of the SFLC is non-existent. The SFLC will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER allow a Federal Court to review the GPL license on the merits. They'll dismiss WITH PREJUDICE before allowing any meaningful court review to occur.
