Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL

Like I said, I don't think that's going to happen.

History shows different, pretty much every successful codebase started out as a popular mud.

One of the reasons for this is that starting with a codebase you've never played has a much steeper learning curve than working on a codebase you've actively played for years.

Given NiMUD is substantially different from any popular mud in existence the chances of someone starting work on a NiMUD derivative is close to zero. It's more likely that someone will grab NiMUD code and plug it into something else, as was the case with OLC.
