Pepe the Frog will no longer face Alex Jones in court.

Jones and his lawyers have settled with Pepe creator Matt Furie. Furie sued Jones for copyright infringement because InfoWars used an image of Pepe in a poster it sold during the 2016 election. The two were set to go to trial next month, but reached a settlement Monday. InfoWars agreed to pay Furie $15,000.

Tompros said Furie planned to donate a portion of the InfoWars profit to a charity that helps real frogs. “It’s called 'Save the Frogs!'” Tompros said. “The real point here is that InfoWars doesn’t get to keep these profits. It’s not legal fees, it’s profits that Mr. Furie is entitled to as the owner of the copyright.”
