Somebody mentioned small claims court.  If it goes to court, this is a
copyright matter, so that means Federal court.

If you have an ironclad case in a patent matter, the average cost to
*you* to fight it is around $1 million.  That's with right on your side.
 Copyright cases are probably a lot cheaper -- with an ironclad case (is
this really ironclad?) we could probably get by for less than $50k.

Maybe it's worth $50 to 100k to him.  Is it to us?

This is why so many developers cave in cases like this.  *Winning* is
more expensive than rolling over.
