I wonder if Figma will have to pay taxes on 1B they are getting as the fee.

Will probably be an expense on Adobe's books and income on Figma's. Lowering Adobe's tax and potentially raising Figma's.

Not sure about this exact scenario, but the government taxes legal settlements. Not sure why they wouldn't tax this.

Will definitely lower Adobe's tax bill.
