I am on the paul stenquist end of this rant. Really, I believe copyleft is the way to go, generally and that the only bad thing about your case is that he may have made lousy copies of your fine print. other than that, i don't really think it is a big deal. he did so unknowing of your problems with it and out of best wishes for all sides, well, that is at least a presumption you should take unless you have some prior bad experience with this person. you could tell him that you'd be happy to give them more nice prints instead, if you would, otherwise, just forget it and feel appreciated for your art.
