Well, I guess it was a matter of time. You all know me as Xiaan, but I'm also Christiaan van Woudenberg, the developer behind the front page story on MamboServer.com today:

An awesome achievement, could not have done it without Mambo or my teammates. But ... at 3:30 this afternoon, ON A SUNDAY, AT MY HOME, in sunny Colorado, who calls me but Brian Connolly, demanding to know if we're aware that we're using code stolen from him, and that he's successfully engaged many other companies who have ended up "cutting him large checks".

So my question is ... any advice for combatting these threats of litigation? We'll give the folks over at Miro a call in the morning, but any other advice would be helpful.
