Snitches (oh dear, that's a little harsh; let's call them concerned law-abiding citizens), usually disgruntled former employees, provide BSA enough evidence to get past Rule 11. You settle or you hire lawyers and fight. The settlement terms -- prove you're licensed or get a license -- are infinitely cheaper than litigation. See thread, ante, re cost of copyright litigation.
