Yes, let us coordinate what to respond. To me this doesn't even sound like Ron. Usually he is a rather quite and reasonable guy. Seems to be a lot of misunderstandings here (again). As I was the one copying the Cryptography package to github it concerns me a bit. I've been remembered now about yet another strange law suit in the US and indeed we need to raise a bit of awareness for this.
So let's figure out what has to be done.
