In July of 2007, Skype lost a court case over their failure to include a copy of the GPL in their WSKP100 VoIP phone - it ran Linux, GPL software, which means a copy of the GPL license must be included. The case was started by the gpl-violations.org group. Skype decided to appeal against the decision, but it has decided to withdraw that appeal.

It wasn’t a case brought on to win money, all they sought was compliance with the licence the code was licensed under (GPL).
and if money IS won, where does it go?
That I can see they are not even a registered charity..
If I am wrong, please show me a link proving otherwise
