Good on them.
Patent trolls thrive on hoping companies will take the easy route out. It's the same model as ransomware. I don't hold it against people who find themselves in a difficult position and can't afford to fight, but capitulating to these demands encourages trolls to try again. I have a lot of respect for anyone who's willing to go out of their way to make a patent troll regret filing a claim.
In case people aren't reaching the bottom of the post, Gnome has a donation link up for legal funds: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/gnome-foundation-inc/gn...
It won't go specifically to the patent case though.
I ended up following the link via my Android phone to use Google Pay. Welcome to the mobile world!
Insert a joke here about how I'm so old that I remember what it was like to buy things on a desktop system.
Still beware that with Apple Pay gives out information like email and billing address.

As an outsider it looks to me that the US patent system is seriously limiting your innovation.
Reminds me of the patent / copyright troll from Silicon Valley. But worse, this guy "invents" things that already exist. I wish we could ban people (and their companies) from owning patents if they are found to be abusing the patenting system purely to not innovate but even worse they financially stall nonprofits who do innovate. Like seriously.
