Yeah? SCO sued a bunch of people too. They haven't won, though.

Elastic and Floragunn are unrelated to SCO.

They share a similarity: the Floragunn litigation is unresolved (and clearly Floragunn continues to distribute their plugin). SCO, too, failed to resolve their litigation favorably to SCO.

That is a very tenuous connection. Floragunn has not resolved the litigation in their favour, either.

If we are going off similarities, Napster also continued to distribute their software while their lawsuit involving the RIAA was unresolved. The court still ruled against them eventually.
