Tom, I will have no problem proving copywrite issues. That is not at issue for me. I am a huge proponent of Open Source and I was NOT ready to release the code. I was also not about to release my areas, the stuff given to me that only I had permission to use. These are the kind of things that has prompted us to want to take action.
In the ROM.licence it mentions mideviea as a thieving source. Well, Realms of Madness stole my code. (That is what they are calling themselves right now) and the areas and supporting files. Some of the code is PAPER Copywrited and given permission to use it excusively. ROM and DikU may be Open Source but they are also copywrited.
