If Medievia admitted that it is DIKU-derived then it would probably earn back a little bit of respect and trust. Even still, to take someone else's work and then not credit them at all is hard to validate.

As far as the charging in-game for perks goes - I do not agree with it on a fair-gameplay level. And I do not agree with Aardwolf breaking the DIKU License by charging for in-game items(although it is used to keep the MUD running, and not as a profession). I do respect their open co-operation and their crediting of their origins.

In the end, as far as this thread goes, Medievia remains the most accessable and complete example of DIKU license-breaking, which is why they are used as an example and not Aardwolf.
