The purpose of out of court settlements is usually precisely that it is NOT proved.
And this settlements itself has not even been approved yet.
They're giving away a bit of software they might have given away free anyway in order to save legal expenses:
------------------------------
"Defendant has denied and continues to deny each and all of the claims and contentions alleged by the Class Representative. Defendant expressly has denied and continues to deny all charges of wrongdoing or liability against it arising out of any of the conduct, statements, acts, or omissions alleged, or that could have been alleged, in the Litigation. Defendant also has denied and continues to deny, inter alia, the allegation that the Class Representative, the Class, or any other member of the public has suffered damage or harm by reason of any conduct, statement, act, or omission of Defendant.
Nonetheless, Defendant has concluded that further conduct of the Litigation would be protracted and expensive, and that it is desirable that the Litigation be fully and finally settled in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Settlement Agreement. Neither this Agreement, nor any of its terms or provisions, nor any of the negotiations or proceedings connected with it, shall be construed as an admission or concession by Defendant of the truth of any of the allegations in this Action."

It's opportunistic legal bullsh*t like these suits that make products more expensive than they need to be for many of us.
Any money spent comes from somewhere, and it is not the shareholders.
