There is, however, one interesting question.
The terms of a settlement are kept confidential if they would embarrass
or harm a settling party.
I wonder who would be embarrassed or harmed in these cases if the terms
of the settlements became public.
There is definitely something philosophically contadictory about a
closed-source settlement intended to preserve the open-source-ness of
software.
Somebody wants to hide something. Who -- the defendants or the SFLC?
It's hard to tell.
