I corrected my post the same minute you posted. If you issued your licence in 1994, then you can revoke it in 2029.

My mud doesn't use OLC, I am simply responding to the legal claims (of both sides). If you wish to argue the ethical side then that's a separate issue. However your outright refusal to follow the Diku licence is likely to undermine your ethical arguments.

Er, no, you've got it the wrong way around (and your link is completely irrelevant). It's not possible to remove the copyright notices. See here:

"§ 506. Criminal offenses

(d) Fraudulent Removal of Copyright Notice. — Any person who, with fraudulent intent, removes or alters any notice of copyright appearing on a copy of a copyrighted work shall be fined not more than $2,500."
