> What kind of trouble can they cause that company? How does not having a lot of lawyers make it dangerous?

imho, it's not the number of lawyers, but that you get involved in court cases at all. If you're a small, independent developer lonewolfing it, you can't even afford to hire a lawyer, let alone retain one on staff. A settlement, where you get a relatively favourable outcome compared to paying the court costs, is probably tantalizingly good.

i want to see the losing party pay in civil suits!
