KaVir has been dealing with these issues for over ten years. He's done a ton of research on the specific topics of Medievia, copyright infringement, and the DIKU license. He's backing up his findings with relevant citations. It's incredibly insulting to say that the guy could be involved with something like this for ten years, yet is unable to offer anything to the discussion because he doesn't have a law degree.

As for this debate, I tend to stick with the subject I have been professionally briefed on: Using the work of others without crediting the authors is plagiarism, which brings both ethical and legal concerns to the table.
