Unfortunately I doubt it, if anything was attempted, they would
probably be able to get away on a technicality on what the software is
designed to do, and not what the software is being used to. After all,
software writers cannot always be held accountable for the software
they write if done in good intentions. For example, they could claim
that the software was originally designed to be used to send mail to
willing participants. Unless you can prove otherwise, the software is
just being miss-used (just like TB could be with the mass-mailer
option).
