The SFLC received NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING they requested as
relief in their lawsuit. People are not supposed to believe their
own eyes when they read the complaint and prayer for relief. Instead
they are supposed to believe what some delusional GNU fan claims the
SFLC *really* claims.

GNU fans never lose, they just moooooooooooooooove the goalposts.
