If this would ever go to court, it would be because the company has  
something else to hide, besides a reluctance to provide the source,  
or a desire to profit of it. I will have yet to see the case where a  
company actually would let the case come before a judge, merely  
because the charges for providing the source are grossly  
disproportionate. Think about it, if it were about making a profit of  
the source, a court case would not really fit the aim, now would it?
