It's written up in the settlements -- the same settlements you seem
to be privy to.

In each and every case where the SFLC filed suit the source code is
hosted on the defendant's server (except Verizon who told the SFLC
to kiss their royal purple ass). It is certainly reasonable to
believe, in light of no registered copyrights for the plaintiffs
standing, that the losing plaintiffs agreed to lucrative contracts
for the defendants to host the plaintiffs' code in addition to
paying defendants' legal costs.
