It's just a harassment lawsuit. Amazon is going to lose, but they hope they could bully another company into what they want from them.

I read a post on Mastodon today about how Microsoft treated GPL things after Balmer was out and they were doing the “we love Linux” stuff.

The point that matters here is the law doesn’t really matter if you can outspend your opponent by six orders of magnitude. Chances are most people won’t even try.

So I agree. This is fully to prevent anyone from wanting to try.

(The point of the post was hell hard Microsoft was working to be seen as a good citizen even though they could outspend on lawyers)
