Ouch, that is some bad news.

But given the nastiness and trigger-happy lawyer, I understand that you might be fed up with this.

Maybe we could ask help from FSF as suggested by @Maacruz.

Not sure for USA, but at least I think that's the case for EU, and also here around in Switzerland.

And what about you ? Are you throwing the ball, or are you still interested to continue working on Mitakuluu3 ?
