There is no reason to believe that the FSF would be awarded anything more than the minimum since they have not suffered any economic damage from the infringement.
- aristus 18y agoAh! Good catch, thank you. That is a huge difference. So they are demanding about a million cash maximum, plus a dedicated compliance officer, plus a recall-like effort to notify millions of customers about a "defect" that few will care about or understand -- in effect, subsidizing FSF's educational and advocacy efforts. Hmm. This seems a little more reasonable but I still think this is a big risk on the part of the FSF.
