I think the aim of these actions is the typical aim of any legal proceedings, to draw settlement.

I'd really love for them to actually try something more than just threatening letters. I'd especially like to see what happens if they tried to bring legal action against Sourceforge :D What's frightening is that while lawyers are in general evil fucks, they are evil fucks on a leash. This means that someone is actually authorising this legalised harassment, and might actually think they have a chance of reaching an outcome that they think is desirable. On a more general note I think we're going to see more and more claims like this brought against open source over the next few years. It is purely a sign of depreciated business models trying to cling to what life they have. Oh, I want more! I need closure!
