From the
Foundation-L post:
we sent a letter to
Wikipedia Art that was aimed, not to threaten legal action, but to outline
what our legal concerns were, and to try to begin a negotiation to resolve
the matter amicably -- ideally by switching the domain name over to us, but
not by requiring any content changes on their site at all.
This is disingenuous. A letter sent by a law firm "to outline our legal
concerns" which uses legal language and tells a site that they will settle
matters amicably if they meet a demand is a legal threat. It may not actually
include the words "or we will sue you", but trying to spin it as not being a
legal threat is absurd.
It certainly would be interpreted as one if it were something written
on-wiki by somebody an admin wanted to ban under the WP:NLT policy.
