Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL

Well, I'm talking to Hans in email and he said:

"Why exactly are they claiming you stole anything (I assume they mean that you are in violation of the license, instead of theft, which is not exactly equivalent legally)?"

As for "player bases make mud codebases" -- that's just not true. First of all, there is no term "codebase" -- instead, there is a term "software package" -- secondly, the amount of work in the source code has to do with how the code is made, not the number of players active at any given time. If that were true, Merc 2.0c would not be considered important because very few if any MUDs use that code.
