The only thing wrong with open-source licenses is that those people believed, back then, that "information wants to be free."
They were Internet Hippies, in other words, and failed to realize it. They also failed to realize that most communes...
Fail.
I agree with the sentiment that without DIKU, something else would have come along. That something might not have been free, especially to players. Hobbyist volunteers who run free games are a different breed than people who want to profit from their work. DIKU licensers were idealists. Sadly, the world just doesn't work that way.
