As a successful refundee, I must agree. Naturally, the money wasn't an issue (I've actually donated the refund money to the FOSS community in Israel), and Dell would have given me the money more easily if I have agreed to sign a NDA. But I placed the lawsuit against Dell because I wanted to force them a policy change, which wouldn't have happened if no one knows.
Lenovo and the other manufacturers are more afraid of possible precedences than the money, and I'm sure they would have payed phk his 1000kr if he was willing to sign some kind of NDA. Luckily, we are ideological nuts, which make us a huge headache to the manufacturers:)
