I suspect the real goal is to slow down Android so much that Windows and Apple phones are suddenly price-competitive. It might be unrealistic to expect such a sweeping injunction that Android goes out of business, but they can certainly jack the price up enough to cut business way down.
I have very little good will towards either Apple or Microsoft, even with changes in management. They are both control freak territory. Google itself may have its own share of control freaks, but not Android itself so much.

I don't think they want money at all - that would only be a consolation prize. They want injunctions, and more importantly, fear of licensing Android, to further their own products.
I wonder if this will help push Samsung further towards Tizen?
