VeriSign seeks Freedom to Abuse its monopoly, not Freedom to Innovate.
I'm glad to see that GoDaddy's Recall VeriSign [recallverisign.com] petition is back online, recently passing the 20,000 signature level. This is even more than the Stop VeriSign DNS Abuse [whois.sc] petition, which is slightly below 20,000 signatures. Combining the two, that's a lot of opposition to VeriSign's abusive intentions and behaviour.

In fact, today's decision frees VeriSign from the rather large burden of having to prove ICANN's actions violated federal anti-trust law.
Maybe I don't understand this lawsuit or the legal process, but isn't the "burden" that you mention one that VeriSign brought upon itself? From my (admittedly naive) perspective, it looks like VeriSign was throwing as many accusations at ICANN as possible, and seeing how many would stick. This is just an instance of a legal claim that didn't pass the laugh test; making it sound like a good thing for VeriSign smacks of spin-doctoring.

The lawsuit actually isn't the big story - VeriSign now is accusing ICANN of prejudice in its .net registry operator selection process. Details here [free2innovate.net].
