Medievia could easily end the controversy at any time.
Have a few reputable people review the current code and report on it, like the comparison of Medevia 4 that is already out there. I would recomend members of the original DIKU team because they are famiar with the code, they have credibility with the pro-license faction, they have never been accused of unethical behavior by either side, and they have some intrest is finding the truth. There could be a fairly simple non-disclosure agreement that the reviewers would not keep or publish copies of the code after the review.
Easy, and it could end the controversy forever. If someone reputable, especially members of the DIKU team, said "nope, this code is nothing like DIKU, it is completely original and we have no problem with it at all" there wouldn't be much point in anyone complaining ever again, would there?
