Yes, that is what I said, after they explicitly asked "Let's ask @moxie0 if he is OK with LibreSignal using OWS servers."
They asked, "are you OK with this," and I responded "I'm not OK with this." I never took any action at all, just gave them my opinion when they asked for it.
If you think it's reasonable to go around telling people that I "threatened legal action" to LibreSignal based on that exchange, I don't know how you expect me to take anything you say seriously.
- dlmetcalf 10y agoRead down thread my reply to laughinghan. The implication you personally, explicitly threatened direct legal action (whether implied or not) is possibly too strongly stated and I'm willing to rephrase that. Suggesting it was meerly stated as a preference though, is not how a reasonable person would read "you're not entitled to use" and "we are not letting other people use our name in their products". Perhaps it wasn't your intent, but the implication was clear and additionally the law follows the letter first. They "were threatened legal action with if they did" and even if you didn't actually intend to open that risk to them from yourself (as it was understood), they were still after that, at threat from others.
