How would the Circle & Diku licenses affect a world-file based on a fictional world? For instance, say I were to make a circlemud based on an obscure hypothetical novel X. Would the novelist then be using circlemud to make money (since circlemud would be, in essence, free advertising for sales of X?) What about the other way around: what if someone had a really cool world file and then started making novels based on it, would that violate the license. Or, in a more favorable interpretation, are the Mud and its background separate enough to purse independant careers. Tom deMayo tdemayo@chalk.cs.westga.edu
