Didn't that lawsuit end up being entirely misconstrued [1, 2]? IANAL, so I can't verify the legitimacy of the sources there but it made sense to me. I'm interested if someone more aware of the situation and laws has insight.

I'm not so sure that random comments on reddit are a good source of credible information. I suppose the same could be said about random comments on HN without credible sources.

The matter was widely reported in January 2017.

I gather that he dropped the lawsuits, after public outcry. But notwithstanding his change of heart, he did file them. And arguably, he only dropped them because of the bad PR.
