Just guessing what happened, I am inclined to give Navy the benefit of the doubt.
Having worked with and sold stuff to the US military, there are shady contractors who will intentionally try to fuck with and take advantage of how purchasing works and how projects are managed to milk it for profit. Sometimes with contract "gotchas" like these.
I have seen it too many times. And now they want 150k / infringement for $550k copies? That's what $82B? I smell bullshit based on my previous experience there.
