I'd say they can just distribute their changes to remedy the situation and issue is resolved, or they can do the litigating you are asking for, and then be mindful that as a pariah organization they are the canary in the coalmine for FOSS license lawfare.

Indeed, I don't think anyone would offer them special relief, but if this issue shows we are in an era of political exposure to opportunistic enforcement, that's notable for everyone who develops products.

I'm not asking for litigation, nor has the SFC threatened any. They've told TRUTH to comply with the licensing terms of the software that they're using, and they've given them a month to demonstrate compliance before taking any further steps. They can do precisely what you just said ("distribute their changes"), and everybody would walk away satisfied.
