What is the legal status of licensing agreements in Russia?

Greetings!
In the created application, I used (dynamically) either under the BSD and ICS licenses, indicated the corresponding authors.
A paranoid-mean client got caught, says delete, it should be written that only he, he, and once again he. He believes that he will be sued, that because of this she will not be his property (there is an agreement with me on the alienation of rights), etc.
I quote:
"In the Russian Federation, these licenses do not mean anything legally"
What can I bring as proof to the client that no one will file anything against him?
PS An example that even in Windows there is a mention of other third-party modules under the BSD license and that there were no such cases in judicial practice (yes, right?) Didn't pass.

Holy-holy-holy! :-) None. Contracts do not possess subjectivity in our country, only persons.

. Who is “she”? "Appendix"? Well, it is not a thing that would be someone's property, but since there are borrowings in it, then the exclusive copyright on it *entirely*, of course, cannot belong to him.

Well sadness. And on the other hand: the owner is a gentleman, since he believes that he does not have licenses, that is, he cannot use free libraries, why do you need to convince him? Tell him better how much you (or your colleague) will write them all a replacement especially for him.

And how do you know this? Moreover, you yourself have seen that he still loves to run into trouble in the legal field.
