That MAY be, easy for you to say "no problem", he did threaten to loose
the legal dogs of war by stirring up Saab's and GM's legal departments
with his lame tales of possible patent infringement and intellectual
property theft, AND contact the university this list is hosted by and
complain to them we might be doing something in his benighted mind that
was possibly "illegal" or "improper". You call a threat like that, mere
"words". Duh.

Any time someone says "lawyer" to me, I take the threat seriously.
That's exactly what he did. You take out a gun, I take your threat
seriously. I'm gonna do sumpin about it.

If that's not a worry for you, fine. Go about your merry way. But to say
this wasn't a threat that should have been met head on is just playing
easy bench for the quarterback. Namely, easy for you to say. But hey, no
problem Scot, I'll just put you down for a "don't giva shit". What's
new. Fine, you've had your say. Have a nice future.
