No, I don't think it does that at all.
Based on their 990 forms that they've submitted to the IRS in 2011-2013, they are averaging $100,000/year in settlements. Which is pretty impressive considering that they don't develop software.
I do realize that they have other sources of income, via donations and conference services and what not. But that doesn't change the fact that their legal activities bring them revenue.
