Having read all of KaVir's links, and also the one supplied by Soliel... well, if Medivia have indeed claimed in the past (even if it was ten years ago) that their coding was 100% original and it was proved otherwise, I suppose no one can deny KaVir, or anyone elses, suspicions that it might still be the case. Certainly, Vryce's apparent refusal to let anyone (even an independant party), go over the code with nothing less short of a court order may very well imply that he has something to hide.
But it may equally just be that Vryce does not want his code going out in the open and possibly being plagiarised or copied in some form or other. Or perhaps he simply feels that no matter what he does, his work will always be interpreted as having DIKU origins.
Whatever the case, it seems rather apparent that Medievia is rather unconcerned about public opinion. Or at least, the opinion of it's detractors. For a mud that has come under such heavy fire, they still are doing rather well. It would seem that they're doing something right.
As for the DIKU creators, they too seem to have either given up on this case, or simply never cared too much about it in the first place.
Perhaps it is rather noble, to fight the just fight, and argue the moral cause. Personally, I never saw much point in fighting for people who aren't interested in fighting for themselves.
