And myself and others have criticised muds in respect to both of those examples in the past. We were able to do so because both the Diku team and Feist have made their intent known.
In cases where that intent has not been made clear, however, I prefer not to get involved (other than perhaps to recommend against using intellectual propery without permission), and in my opinion it seems reasonable for mud sites such as MudBytes to take the same stance.
I personally consider it appropriate to defend the known wishes of the IP holder. I do not consider it appropriate to defend my own interpretation of their wishes, nor to try and guess who might have been given permission and who might not.
This is the third time I've had to answer this question of yours. Are you likely to ask it again? If so, I'll bookmark the page.
