Normal Behavior vs. Our Higher Standards

Normal Behavior vs. Our Higher Standards

I did the old-fashioned thing and called Bradley on the phone.

I overstated that FSF foregoes monetary settlement in favor of present compliance. They prioritize compliance over money.

As an aside, I am operating under an "I don't want your money" rule in my own enforcement, at least with companies that are willing to comply rather than go to court (which has been everyone so far).

There has been essentially no case law, their completed enforcement, with the exception of a defendant who went bankrupt and stopped responding, has been settlement rather than court ruling. Settlements are often sealed because the defendant will accept nothing else. Bradley agreed with my bemoaning the absence of case law. I remain uncomfortable that settlements are sealed and believe the community has a right to know. In some cases, this is regarding works in which I have authorship.

Bradley thinks I am off base on FSF v. Cisco but doesn't have the figures and claims that some people in responsible positions at the time might have misstated.. I will have to go through FSF's form 990 for that year.
