Oh good! Then they have no case and will lose.
They did not lose. The maintainer of Hoarder had to rebrand to KaraKeep, hence this post.
Then they had a case
I thought you said they didn’t?
If they had no case they lost. If they have a case, they win.
It’s a truism.
They didn’t son win either, the dispute is ongoing.
