Sorry, but i don't believe such a request is legally binding. If the upstream
author has money to throw away then fine, but he should as well have sent
someone with a written request to the modificator, and thus obtaining legal
proof of the offer.
Also, i think only the silliest of judge would consider this kind of question
acceptable and even start a judgement over this kind of claims.
