Please show where this PR says *anything* about a lawsuit *actually* being
launched - all that's there is a "We were talking out our ass and decided it
was a bad idea".  There's a high probability that somebody from Microsoft
called and said "Ahem..", and that was sufficient.  It *might* even have
ranged as far as "Ahem.  Please fix this or we'll have to seriously consider
having our lawyers asking you to fix this".  But neither of those actually
classify as launching a lawsuit.
