What was the rationale motivating the hammer on BriCad?

TLG sent the author a letter saying that they had the copyrights over
the bricks/studs and if he didn't remove his pages he would be sued. The
author got so disappointed that he left the net.

Did Carsten ever post a copy of the letter or anything like that?  Anyone
know what year/month this was?  How about what country he lived in at the
time?  Very odd...  Obviously (er, apparently) TLG has lightened up
considerably since then.

I don't think TLG has changed much since then.

I also think TLG was blowing some smoke, and Carsten gave up too easily.
I'm pretty sure Carsten could have made some cosmetic changes to satisfy
TLG.
