Reply to comment by psychicsword in U.S. Justice Dept accuses Google of evidence destruction in antitrust case by batmaninwonderland

I know! It’s a rather interesting case.

Settlements are contractual sealed agreements, even if the circumstances around the settlement changes, you have to abide by it until you can go through the system to change it (assuming it’s possible at all).

And the argument against them is weaker now, because they’re using more and more open source, so they have a claim that the bundling benefits more than them, so it’s not monopolizing.

We’re in rather grey waters here, considering the army of lawyers Microsoft can throw at it again.

A) My statement was a general statement about settlements, not about that specific one.

B) what you posted doesn’t prove anything about the statement being misleading, it just means that the settlement had an expiration date included (which I was unaware of) which means they are still following the letter of the settlement, assuming they didn’t start before that expiration date.
