Craig Wright Seeks Settlement with COPA
Craig Wright, who claims to be Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto, has offered a settlement to the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) to prevent a court trial over Bitcoin's intellectual property rights. He's been ordered by a UK judge to present proof of his claim by providing documents dating back to 2007, asserting his rights in court but clarifying that his litigation focus isn't on revealing his identity. Wright is offering to waive certain rights and is willing to provide an irrevocable license for Bitcoin-related technologies to enable fair competition.
- Wright's settlement includes the cessation of all legal claims and an encouragement for parties to donate legal funds to charity, stipulating no financial gains from the case for himself.
- The offer dictates no further creation, copying, or forking of new Bitcoin databases using the BTC, BCH, ABC, or BSV databases, aiming to end the dispute and allow a focus on Bitcoin development.
