DisappointedDisappointedPosted Jul 20, 2004 9:17 UTC (Tue) by WZot (guest, #13623)Parent article: Microsoft and Lindows Settle Trademark Case First of all I am disappointed in Linspire for not taking this further; but I guess it is a money related thing... But what I am most disappointed in is the amount of cash connected to the settlement. $20M is NOTHING for Microsoft, and I am sure Linspire could have got a whole lot more if they just continued a little bit more. The $20M is ^just enough for covering theyre legal expenses^ in this case.

Disappointed Posted Jul 20, 2004 10:21 UTC (Tue) by jeroen (subscriber, #12372) [Link] How would Linspire get more if they continued? They would get less. Because if they win in the US, they get nothing. Microsoft accuses Linspire of breaking the law, the only thing they get if they win is a piece of paper saying that they aren't breaking the law.You say it is nothing for Microsoft, but it is something for Linspire. Linspire can spend its money in a better way than paying lawyers IMHO.
