Re: "in response to an expensive and lengthy court case"
I don't know that Intel is really interested in spending money on Windriver court cases.
Intel bought them to help sell chips in the embedded market, not to syphon money to layers.
If anything the converse is true, there's no money to be made by a Giant into suing a small company. They don't compete with Intel, so even pushing them into bankruptcy would be moot and Intel customers need to know that GPS licenses are safe before they buy Linux derivatives anyway.
