The damage done to Samsung via this false accusation will far outweigh the costs borne by NetSec. I'm against frivolous lawsuits, but I wouldn't mind if Samsung delivered one his way.


It's OK to be against "frivolous lawsuits" without thinking that every lawsuit is automatically frivolous. There are a lot of frivolous lawsuits in the world today but that doesn't mean the concept of libel should be discarded, and that it sometimes actually happens and should be prosecuted. No contradiction.

Samsung may choose to magnanimous and not sue, with a bit of cleverness they can spin this such that they get more out of that than any lawsuit they could possibly file... but it will be their choice, and if they do sue I won't hold it against them. It'd be fair.
