Having read everything, it sounds to me like we should all be presuring our quilting suppliers (LQS or Joann's or B. Franklin or whoever) to not buy fabric that sounds threatening. The producers can make it more clear (and put it more clearly on the selvage) and if it still sounds threatening, our shops should simply not buy it and expose their customers to such a potential problem. My dad was one of the lawyers who wouldn't take a case if he felt it was wrong... and often his cases involved the "little guy vs the big corp." There have been posted too many examples of little guys (us) being threatened. Maybe some of those little guys were quilters who share their skills and expertise, and they are a wonderful part of the quilting culture. I'm not going to buy any fabric that feels it has the right to limit what I do with it. I never sell anything, but I have put things up for raffle for charitible causes. I don't like the smell around this subject. I'm out! I'll check every selvage before I buy from now on, and only buy the threat-free frabrics@
