I don't think there is a single shred of evidence that GWI would back down over its public image. Backing down in this case would actually go opposite the image they seek to project. They have never struck me as the "it's a matter of degrees" type when it comes to their view on the legality of a deal. If they thought it was illegal, they would have challenged, period.
