I see lots of claims that there are no damages since Stockfish is free. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think that argument is the end of the story. Google Vs Oracle was over code that was public and given away for free, and Oracle was asking for $8.8 Billion US. They didn't get anything on account of copyright not applying in the case, but there's no doubt some very significant money would have changed hands if it went the other way.
