Yes, I remember. Both rulings are at odds with Supreme Court dictum 
on predatory pricing causing antitrust injury. Both Judges simply 
pulled rabbits out of their hats. To quote the author of 
www.rdantitrustlaw.info/shaky.pdf ("More generally, competitors may 
never be heard to complain of artificially low prices unless they 
are predatory, because it is only predatorily low prices that 
threaten injury to competition.94 94) Id. at 339–40. The Court's 
discussion was consistent with the Brunswick dictum on predatory 
pricing. See Brunswick, 429 U.S. at 489 n.14 (where there is true 
predation (not just uncomfortably aggressive price cutting), a 
competitor's lost profits do count as antitrust injury, even though 
the predatory practice temporarily benefits consumers)."):

"Antitrust injury" has been confused with many other things. Notably, 
it is not a rabbit for the judge to pull out of his hat when the 
complaint alleges a violation but the court wants to dismiss the case 
anyway, but cannot think of a good reason to dismiss it."

I've been told that appeal fee is $250. I don't think that Wallace 
needs any financial help from me.

"GNU will remove operating system software from the realm of 
competition. You will not be able to get an edge in this area, but 
neither will your competitors be able to get an edge over you. You 
and they will compete in other areas, while benefiting mutually in 
this one. If your business is selling an operating system, you will 
not like GNU, but that's tough on you. If your business is 
something else, GNU can save you from being pushed into the 
expensive business of selling operating systems."
