Let their lawyer contact you.
We've contacted Froala to make it clear that sending these types of messages to our customers isn't acceptable. They have assured us they will fix their processes, but time will tell.
I don't really understand the question. The RTE (WYSIWYG) editor is mostly JS, but yes, that's what this relates to.

I personally will have zero hesitation to forward their correspondence to my own attorney to pursue a legal complaint and punishment against them for unnecessary harassment and false accusations in accordance with zero violation of their licensing terms. My legal complaint against them will request payment to me for needless harassment. And the case will be stronger because it is a pattern, as evidenced in this thread.
Unfortunately sometimes (as with a child) one only learns a lasting lesson by putting their hand on a hot stove.
I will report here if I receive a notification from them, and of my response.

Perhaps. But I’d be willing to bet that most companies don’t legally threaten their customers’ customers with baseless accusations, either.
if I was XF, I’d be re-evaluating whether to continue doing business with such a company.
In any case, it behooves XF to put out an official statement in the form of a blog post, web page or press release to
1) Reassure XF customers that they haven’t done anything wrong and are not in any sort of legal jeopardy. Customers don’t want to license software and get threatened!
2) provide a public statement that is linkable, which XF customers and others can use as a reference and indemnifying shield when responding to correspondence and legal threats by this company
3) make a public statement aimed at the Froala company itself, pointing out the errors of its ways in a succinct, non-inflammatory way. Purpose: to get it to back off by publicly exposing what is happening and increasing awareness & transparency
IMHO this has the potential to be a big deal if Froala keeps pursuing licensees’ customers. Pointing people to this thread is not enough. An official statement/response is warranted for the reasons above.
