Obsessing on details that are not relevant is a good way for lawyers to get fined for contempt.
The thing is, if Calibre gets said to be the tool that removes the DRM and DRM removal loses in court, the lawyers could then decide to go after Kovid for Calibre even though that haven't a leg to stand on.

So the solution is to get the word out that Calibre and the DRM removal plugin are not one and the same and Kovid has nothing at all to do with the DRM removal plugin.
