I really wish they provided details on why they had to go to the legal team in the first place and on what grounds they were rejected. Among other things, I would imagine the developers would not be liable for end-users violating the EULA, so it's kind of head scratching why they would interact with bethesda at all.

I think the mod developers don't want to spend their time,energy and money in a legal battle, Bethesda could drag this in courts and who knows with the current copyright laws may even win, would you risk it if you were living in US or such a country? I would give up and work on an open source game instead or a game more friendly to this kind of modding.
Possibly because they are huge fans of the studio and the games (why else would they put so much time into this project??) and they don't want to be at odds with the people who make the games they love so much?
