Quite a few people (myself included) have looked through the source code after it was put up on a website for download, and done various comparisons. We're talking files which (when compared with diff) have as little as 14% original code (the rest being EXACTLY the same as Merc 1.0). There are even comments left in from some of the original Merc team.

We've also got hold a copy of the faxed statement, signed by the owner of Medievia under penalty of perjury, in which he identifies the code as being that of Medievia, and demands that it be removed from the website.

There's also numerous quotes from other people who have been through the code, including ex-Medievia staff members, and the original owner of the mud.
