[HOW TO] Settlement (was: Re: Artifex v. Diebold: "The GPL is non-commercial!")

[Alexander Terekhov]

(upcoming settlement in Artifex v. Diebold)

Contrast it with the SFLC-style blog "settlements" announced on the
verge of voluntary dismissals with no shred of evidence regarding the
stipulation of settlement on the record in the federal court.
