   I think you should explain under what conditions you would stop the
   boycott.  Usually this is done when the violation has ceased, i.e.  they
   stop copying your product illegally.  Is it also necessary that they
   release the source for versions already copied?  

Me and my lawyer discussed it.  We decided that they should either recall
all the existing Clarkson-derived software, or else release the source.
He's going to send them a demand letter to that effect...
