Thanks for the links. Do you know the status of Jack's initiative and whether he was involved in assisting the developers in this ongoing litigation? I know the Bitcoin Magazine article from early 2022 mentions the case, but I have not seen mention of his involvement recently. Also, I can't find a website for The Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund, nor can I find any mention of it in the press over the last year.

Thanks! I'm happy to hear that they are available for those developers who need their help. With Jack involved I would guess funding isn't an issue.

I asked Jack about the state and he says that it's just him and Alex from Chaincode currently.

The case you link is well known, so I hope one of the organizations is looking into it.
