It's true that Cloudflare left themselves that loophole, but the general tone of the rest of the post seems to suggest that they're going for the throat. I wouldn't expect them to back out on paying the $50k even if the immediate withdrawal of the suit would allow them to.

I get the feeling that they won't be getting sued by patent trolls again for a long time, they know that, and they'll be grinding this one into the ground as far as possible.

Cloudflare has a lot of goodwill in my book. I'm sure they will come back and explain this was a miswording, and that they are happy to help even after this particular case is resolved.
