The SFLC dismissed the case because Verizon complied with the GPL.
And it's not that "the case was dismissed" which is a deliberately
misleading way to imply that the court dismissed the case. Rather,
the parties settled and therefore the plaintiffs dismissed the case.
Dismissal with prejudice is routine in settlements, requested by
defendants to prevent plaintiffs taking a second bite at the apple.
