That's even more reason for us to use these products so that their sacrifices are not done in vain. The developers are like Prometheus in the Greek mythology who had to suffer wrath of Gods for giving fire to people.

I'd hate for any unwarranted heat to be brought down on a great free-ware project like Calibre! Aside from the risk of bad publicity, even a frivolous and merit-less legal issue could be a terrible drain for the Calibre team.
Hmm, the root cause of the DRM removal is that Kindle does not support a particular DRM scheme that libraries use. It would be a shame for Kindle to get sued for encouraging DRM removal. Or maybe not.
