Yes, that action (erroneously dismissed on jurisdictional grounds)
ended with federal Judge Tinder's legal conclusion that "allegations
sufficiently set forth a violation of the rule of reason". And he even
managed to infer an anticompetitive effect of the GPL:  reduction of
IP output.

Read the entire docket, Chris.

Kudos to Wallace.
