In the Diku license it says:
Quote
If you wish to setup a version of DikuMud on any computer system, you
must send us a message , by snail-mail or e-mail, and inform us where
and when you are running the game. (remember to include
your address, name etc.)


I'm curious as to how many people actually follow this part of the license?

I don't know, but instead not following the license I would just not use the code. My best guess is people ignore the parts of the license they don't like. At the very least, disrespecting the wish of the authors. I can't speak to the legalities of this one.

My best guess is that nearly nobody follows it. In fact I'm not sure most people even know how to get in touch with those folks anymore.

In the greater scheme of which license clauses to break, that seems like a rather harmless one to break and I'm not sure they even care, but it's still violating the license.

It's pretty easy to follow. Just send the email.

Should you do it when you move of server. Take over an old game. Restart it after a few years dead ?

I followed it. Every email I sent to bounced back, however, I feel when the license requires you to send the information to a certain address, it isn't the responsibility of the user to worry if the email addresses the license requires you to send the information to is valid.

Send the emails, watch them bounce back, and you've followed that portion as far as I'm concerned.

I know this has nothing to do with this topic but Hades, your signature is awesome looking. I like how you set up the MUD screen to be scrolling behind it. Now only if I could see what it was saying.

Hehe, thanks :p

It was actually a discussion about the banner, I was collecting ideas and opinions on it and decided to screen cap that for the image.

It's probably the least obnoxious animated gif signature this site has ever seen. :smile: (And not only is it not obnoxious, it's nifty.)

Did someone say obnoxious gifs?

Back when I last worked on a DikuMUD, we did indeed send an e-mail, and had one of the original team (Kahn, IIRC) poke around and say hi for a few minutes.

Did anybody save Igabod's old "I love asian girls" animated gif sig? I thought I'd kept it but I can't find it now :(

Kahn was from the Merc team, you didn't have to email him ;) Actually I think it was Kahn who popped onto GW2 a few years back, too.

I don't recall ever getting a response from the Diku team (in fact I'm fairly sure my email bounced, even all those years ago).

I imagine quite a few people don't bother to follow this clause. For what it's worth though, I did and watched my emails bounce.
