I have a question for those of you with more time to do google searches or with more factual knowledge of cases like this:
Is there any precedent of a weak or seemingly flawed license being upheld in court based on the intent of the author rather than the actual exact wording?
If yes, could you please provide us with some links where we could review the case? (if it is a public record)
Other thing I wanted to ask,
Is the case of banning certain interpretation of the DIKU license within this comunity that much different from a specific organized religion forbidding specific sexual practices that are otherwise socially accepted?
(In my opinion the two cases are very similar, and this is what makes me think that IF the forum owner decided to enforce certain particular interpretation as condition for membership, he would be in his right to do so)
Edited to fix a typo
