    I'm glad both parties could come to a resolution.. sometimes copyright lawsuits can get quite nasty abd lengthy! Would hate for this poor idie dev to go bankrupt to himself suing himself. Refreshing!

I have decided to make it public for developers who may face similar issues in the future. Once again, I sincerely thank Steam for their flexible support.
