I had this issue. Rules for TML (My mud, The Mage's Lair) are as follows in brief: Anything you do on TML is for TML use. If TML releases it to the public as a downloadable system, we will get your permission. Any Code is pure and property of ME (I own the mud, I pay for it) and I can do with as I wish. (Harsh? nope) If you leave the mud, TML retains rights to content as long as they are under the TML name. (I cannot give your area to someone else, but I get to use it til hell freezes over).
It is IMPLIED that if you do any work, you have accepted this aggreement. To make sure its legal you can send it via email "electronically Signed" and save the date. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Kingston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ROM" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 6:23 PM Subject: OT: Ownership for work done for a mud. > I've have kinda been having a debate with this, And I have gone around > trying to research this to see which statments are true or not.
