  I don't understand what you mean. In Google vs Oracle the copyright infringement for the copied code was settled for $0. Open source projects are not as sue happy as Oracle is.

    Last I heard it was tens of millions. I'll have to look again. > Open source projects are not as sue happy as Oracle is. Comes across as punching down. Like it's OK to steal from the mom and pop stores, they're too poor and overworked to do anything about it.
