My statement was that if they were to shut down today, three years from now they would be untouchable. What I quoted before it doesn't disagree with that, it just adds further possible scenarios which even the linked site agrees are highly dependent on each particular case.
Actually my stance is to disagree with the various people who keep claiming that the licence is unenforcable. I believe there are many other factors which could sway the case in favour of the Diku team.
Oh I acknowledge that that could make it harder to enforce - what I disagree with is the automatic assumption that by waiting for so long, there is no way the Diku team could take action. They've not done themselves any favours, but that doesn't mean Medievia is automatically off the hook.
I've stated that the Diku licence is your 'defence' against copyright infringement, yes. The Diku licence is the thing that gives permission to use the copyrighted work (there is no concept or "reverting" rights - no rights have been signed over).
No. Laches is a very specific principle which depends on many different factors. It could work in favour of either side.
