I wouldn't suggest replying to these guys. They're trying to put the LyX project in the role of their lawyer, without payment. Personally, I think the GPL2 is clear enough for me to stake my business on, but if they have questions, they can hire a lawyer.
Or, if they don't like the project not acting as their lawyer, they can start using a proprietary substitute, and REALLY start paying lawyers.
