Did they? They haven't said a word.

Even if they did, it is pretty stupid of them to buckle at the first
hint of a threat. If we, a much smaller, non-commercial project had
caved like this, then you wouldn't have the luxury of typing "ssh" to
run ssh (cf. ssh.com's trademark threats against us in 2000).
