You might think that OSMF is not being transparent enough at this point. I think we'll learn more in time. I've gone into detail on my blog if you want more words. :-)
But, looking at the C&D as a negotiation, it would be foolish to discuss settlement terms in advance in public. For example, if OSMF as a settlement were to decide, "we'll ask the person for $1 million to settle this, but we'll take $200,000 at the low end", well, that would be silly. You've just told the other side to offer 200k as a counter. So some of this will stay less-transparent, at least for a while. Many more words on my site, about litigation and trade marks in general. http://weait.com/trade-mark-2
