My take, I think their email reply is evidence that they have no clue
what-so-ever. I'd suggest that you ask them a yes or no question, and
that you accept no another answer other than yes or no. Now, as to the
question, can I do X, where X is all the code that you think might
infringe. Also, bear in mind, what the person says has no legal
weight, if they person you are talking to has no legal standing.
If you don't get satisfaction from them, then, I'd bump you to the
FSF's lawyer on how to handle this. Standard clean room techniques
certainly work.
