To give you an update:

LW wrote that himself.
FK stopped saying Army Builder.
Forward Kommander wrote:Note! This is not an "Army Builder". This application in which you can build armies can not be called "Army Builder", because a company called Lone Wolf owns the trademark on "Army Builder".

LW wrote an apology to PP over the letter, trying to explain that he wrote it himself and didn't mean to 'cause such an uproar.
Lone Wolf wrote:First of all, I'm not a lawyer. I don't even pretend to play one on TV. I'm a software developer that also has to deal with business matters for a tiny company. Like many others, I don't always consult our attorneys on the text of every message before it is sent. The message to Privateer was not vetted by our attorney, and I didn't recognize a critical language issue in the message, which led to a major problem.

LW had a valid point but went at it the wrong way.
LW wrote:I also believe, in retrospect, that the language I used was unnecessarily stern. However, the core problem was using the term "improper" instead of "infringing".
(This bugs me 'cause he's admitting he was a jack--- about, but then tries saying that the real probelm was technical, not his jack---ery)
