I'd love to see this as well, personally.

However, it's highly unlikely; put simply, at present time Medievia would derive no advantage whatsoever from a public audit of their code, as these infringement claims are doing nothing to hurt their bottom line, and they seem to care little enough about integrity or the moral high road.

If Synozeer and Icculus would do the right thing and require such an audit as a condition for their continued participation on their sites that might change. Obviously it would change as well if a lawsuit were filed, but I'm certainly not holding my breath there either, sadly enough.

Granted, it certainly isn't their responsibility to babysit and ensure the children play nicely by any stretch of the imagination, but this is a pretty egregious case; I really doubt it would set a particularly time-consuming precedent for them to take a more active role here.

But, maybe that's just me.
