I use an unlicensed program to create art and post it on instagram, and recently someone approached me and asked to commission me to create art for their business and I ended up doing that and we parted ways. A month later, about a week or two ago, they messaged me out of the blue asking me for source files/editable ones, and I did. They never got back to me after, which is never like them, they would always respond - and I've tried messaging them a couple of times.

I kept asking what would the reason be, and it just hit me that perhaps its the unlicensed program that I use, and from what I understood upon googling about said program, if they were to open a file created with an unlicensed version, they would get a watermark that tells them the file was created on an unlicensed one. is this true? I'm seriously losing sleep and and can't stop panicking, I already suffer from anxiety attacks and heart problems, this is really keeping me uneasy and scared.

would I get sued for this? please guys help me
