Jeff;
I have referred to that site for well over a year and have no information
how long that site was there before then.
Since this is related, this is yet another question your lawyer should have
been able to answer had he been competent.
You continue to ask legal questions here after being shown basic information
unknown by yourself as well as your lawyer friend.
A dismissed lawsuit says very little but a competent lawyer specializing in
software licensing can sort it out.
All you get here is opinions with no weight but your carries less since you
have shown you are taking advice from a lawyer that is clearly unqualified
in software licensing.
Let that guy get back to traffic court and his mediocre abilities there so
you can consult a true professional.
