tresspassor · 08-15-2002, 02:46 PM

Hey all, I’ve seen this diku thread open about once every three days. Right now its going on a mud promotion thread. It goes something like this:

Paying programmers for programming on a Diku is against its license... No its not!

I don't use diku, or any other derivative. I'm really interested in hard facts.

Could anyone (if they have permission) post direct emails, text conversations, thread responses, phone calls etc. That are from the Diku team (or one of the other associated licenses that fall within Diku's scope) that have specific relations to this topic?

Other things that would apply are direct quotes from attorneys, lawyers etc (direct quotes please, not second hand information).

A few suggestions to make this easy to read:

Please post the entire (or the parts that are relevant) quote, unedited, in a QUOTE, then make comments about it afterwards.

Oh please include the date you received it, that would make things easier for everyone.

Here post comments about the email in question

I'd like to make this a reference thread to try and keep it from starting over... and over... and over...
