Facebook Inc., the world’s largest social-networking website, didn’t engage in fraud when it settled a lawsuit accusing founder Mark Zuckerberg of stealing the idea for the company, a judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge James Ware in San Jose said the settlement with ConnectU Inc., a site operator, was binding and enforceable. The accord to end the 4-year-old dispute was reached in February after mediation.
