The defense is that they had a contract with http://www.planet9.com/ (who AFAICT did indeed license the software): https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/fpdsportal?indexName=awardfull... https://govtribe.com/contract/award/n6258312p0767

The Navy paid out a reasonable amount over the years; clearly a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.
