Other countries may be different, but in the US saying "you will be sued" 
can be considered a threat of imminent suit; saying "you may be sued" is 
only informational. Even better is usually to say "doing this will violate 
the license terms" and leave it at that; most people really do want to 
comply. Heck, probably half the people using the GPL and LGPL haven't really 
read them anyway.

(I am not a licensed lawyer/solicitor but have spent a lot of time working 
with them on software agreements, contracts, and IP matters.)

Later,

z!
