It appears the Wikipedia entry is saying that a sufficient length of time allowing a known infringer to use something establishes the implied license. It would be similar to adverse possession of real estate if it indeed works that way. It is not entirely outside the scope of the law as I know it, in any event.
Burden of proof, yes. And I think it is entirely possible that given Medievia's past dealings, if the Diku team were to bring suit that it would not be at all unlikely that an injunction to look at the code of Medievia would be forthcoming.
Coming from me it means little, but hehe. I don't know if I will ever have the energy to look more into the implied license thing or not.
