Well, if we "heard about GitHub vs. Gitlab" more people outside HN might hear about GitLab. Might be more dangerous, than the chances of a win shutting GitLab down.

More likely they got sound legal advice and realized they could not actually win in court, or their investors killed that idea as a waste of money

You do not hear about many VC funded startups initiating lawsuits for a reason. That is the realm of established companies.
