even if it was asked, the answer is simple, when you run a multimillion dollar company and someone threatens you with a patent lawsuit that could possibly hold up in court, you pay the discount rate to avoid a larger fine and larger legal bills down the road...business 101 unless you are a fighter...some people just like to get shit out of the way, and I don't blame them one bit
i am a fighter personally, I don't just roll over like that, but some people have much more expensive lawyers that I do, and those decisions were probably made after a very long and thought out process by their counsel
