That's the question that the copyright holder needs to answer. I'm just
giving the options. In most cases, things are resolved in a friendly manner.

Hi
As a Copyright holder, he needs to defend his copyright or anyone
who took it to court would use this case to show that it was not
being upheld. His letter might be construed as permission to publish.
His wording might have been a little different.
( I'm not a lawyer and this is just personal opinion ).
With most everything I've sent out, I'm just happy to see people using
it. If I'd expected to have any control, I'd have sold licenses.

that is
for sale. So, be polite and explain that you own the right to
determine how and where the software is distributed.
If he does not comply, then I would file a complaint with eBay. Failing
that, a letter from a lawyer is often effective.
To what end, this? It's a bit scorched-earth don't you think?
