"In case this is a real question?"
Anyway, I just read through the settlement and I didn't see any explicit transfer of ownership of he code in there. I'm not a lawyer though, there are some things in there I may not understand the implications of.
FWIW I am not one of the jerks who downvoted you, I think your comment contributes to discussion even if I'm the end it turns out to be wrong. I think people just see the downvote button as a "disagree" or "you're wrong" button, don't let it get to you.
