Can you elaborate on the cease and desist? Is there a patent on daily meditations. Sounds hardly "mindful" (without knowing the details).

The cease and desist included, in addition to some screens they said we copied from their design, part of the scripts which I wasn't aware they copyrighted.

We didn't copy anything, the text from the meditation we took it from Shunryu Suzuki's book.

You can't have a copyright for text that someone else wrote unless they sell it to you.
how do they even copyright other's work as their own?
