Yes, exactly. There's no evidence that most people in the community care at all. A couple people have taken to claiming that the fact that many DIKU muds follow the license (nevermind that they have no proof of that, given that they aren't able to verify whether the MUD operators sent an email/snail mail to the DIKU creators notifying them of use) means that the community must be against Medievia.

That's an extremely flawed argument, of course, and leads to one supposing that, by way of an example, people who don't practice homosexual behavior feel homosexual behavior is wrong. Some of them probably do, but the fact that they don't practice homosexual behavior says absolutely nothing about whether they support or oppose it.

In other words, a group of people doing A doesn't say anything about whether that group of people objects to or supports B.
