The use of the code under gpl may be $0 but Twin
Peaks hasn't vote a license for that. Twin is printing
the code under a proprietary license and that isn't de
minis.

Infringer's profits
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, September 14 2012 @ 05:25 PM EDT
I'm not sufficiently familiar with the details of copyright law, but it occurs
to me that Red Hat might be able to claim Twin Peaks' profits from the
infringing commercial use, especially if the infringing code is essential to the
functionality of the work it's in. That would pretty much nuke Twin Peaks right
there. Not to mention the difficulties of infringing on multiple third parties'
copyrights, which multiplies the number of folks they must reach settlements
with.

How does RedHat know this?

Why is a price of $0 the starting point?

RH gets income from the supporting to its products. If TP is
found to infringe them I would think that the starting point
would be the support contracts value to RH based on TP's
sales figures.
