In the Apple case, it was very different. They would settle with smaller, indie developers for $300 000. Larger companies would be a lot more. 1 entity, which could very well have been just one person, was paid $530 million by Apple. It’s just ridiculous.

That sum is peanuts to such a big company and is probably easily tax-returnable as well.

Using Apple own internal legal department probably would have cost far more so they went to the $300K route.

Only problem is that Austin just needs to trade in his EV and get a Mustang!

Actually, the Ferrari was ditched for the Tesla. He's more of a forward thinker in that regard. Hence his enthusiasm for the Alia 250.

I don't know the man but I love him just because of creating xplane11. The best 59 euro's i have spent in my lifetime.

 

Thanks for the information,  interesting read.
