Some companies (or some people at some companies) have seen similar setups and said “if someone wants to use the functionality of our software, they need their own license”.

I don’t know if the company has any legal right to send a C&D, but that has not stopped some in the past.

Yeah, I don't know if that's legally enforceable or not. Yes, they can still threaten legal action.

It seems pretty unlikely to me they will, for software they don't sell anymore, to a project that is not charging any money, and has a pretty niche audience (there aren't that many people that have use of this service).

No?
