I hesitate to say this, lest I sound like an actual expert (and also
because it's very nearly off-topic), but I don't think what you say
here really captures how it all went down. If (any of) you want to dig
into details, Groklaw's <http://www.groklaw.net/> coverage of the case
is both extensive and (in my opinion) objective.

Cheers,
