Isn't there a problem here insofar as you are assuming they are breaking the DIKU license? IP law is very complicated, as many posters (including one with a law degree) have pointed out. The idea that some non-experts on internet forums are capable of accurately predicting the outcome of a legal process involving the DIKU authors challenging Medievia is a little ridiculous. Even when I spoke to an IP expert on the matter, he cautioned that all he was giving me was an opinion based on the facts I gave him. I'm not a lawyer and I'm certainly not a lawyer who is an IP expert, so it's therefore entirely possible that I unintentionally left out facts that are material to the case. I'd have no way of being sure what IS relevant to the case, because I'm not an expert.
