Hmm...I don't quite understand what you mean. Would you care to explain?

Well, to clarify, I hadn't thought you were defending Medievia; I was just replying to what you had said about how unclear it is whether or not they made a profit.

Anyway, since it is so difficult to prove and the DikuMud license is so poorly written with regards to the profit restriction, the main issue for me is that they removed the DikuMud credits. I mean, even if (and this is a big 'if' ) they run a mud that is no longer DikuMud derivative, it's pretty pathetic to commit a crime and hide behind it later as 'something of the past', without even apologizing for it. Its just a slap in the face to the DikuMud developers, who designed for free probably the single most influential codebase of today (at least among hobbyists).

(Note: Er..sorry for the smilies in the quotes; I have yet to learn to quote correctly.)
