I also believe (though IANAL) that THREATENING but not actually suing opens
one up to litigation as well. Now the two should be well and truly locked in
mortal combat. The lawyers are laughing I'm sure.

I still don't see why we can't be civil about it and hold a duel to the
death. Having given it more thought, I think having combatants bludgeon each
other with 5.25 inch drives would be more appropriate (and cheaper). I think
after expenses, and an open-source funeral (or two?), we might still have
some funds left over to donate to a suitable open source effort. I bet
attendance would be up at THAT meeting.

If nothing else, it moves the issue well and truly off list.
