Which it doesn't sound like is the case for Ladislav, however it all
depends on the details of the agreement.  I wouldn't look at this as
any kind of disaster, but simply a cost of doing business.

Ladislav, hire yourself a lawyer who can do business in New York
State, and let him do his job.  Sounds more like a business contract
problem than an open source license problem.
