Enough arm-twisting by corporates who want to protect their ``Intellectual Property'' by killing innovation and the individual hacker (not cracker!). If the project is taken down it will create a bad precedent in India, which will eventually lead to DMCA, PATRIOT and similar restrictions being placed on Indian developers without anyone having raised his/her voice against it. Sarovar, CVR, etc, please fight this case. And to put my money where my mouth is, I'm putting in Rs. 1000 to help you get a lawyer. I'm also forwarding this message to more lists and requesting people to come up and help defray your legal costs. Please set up some sort legal fund and fight!
