Unfortunately it's not about whether you "agree" or "disagree". It's about copyright law. Your mud is clearly derived from Diku, and is therefore a Diku derivative. You cannot simply "remove and replace" the old code.[/qoute]

Ofcourse I can. During SMAUG development, a lot of old Diku code was removed/replaced as well, so I see no reason why I cannot alter code in my own project.

No, the reasons _you gave_ are perfectly valid explanations for _your_ lack of interest. I have no idea how many people actively post here (other than you), but yes, it did strike me as odd that the only comments I got (on this forum) are of this nature.

I strongly state that I do not rip off code, and have no intention to do so. If I'm at fault by misplacing copyright statements of other codebases that you feel Grendel is a derivative of, then I am sure we can work this out.

Maybe it's better to continue this off-list.
