He owns the code we run it on, but he is also giving us it to create our own realm. Note that the owner of the specific MUD, as I stated, must do three things to be classified as an owner (IMHO): begin the work on the MUD, formulate the ideas behind the MUD, AND implement, to some degree, some of these ideas. I never said there couldn't be more than one owner, I used "sole owner" to indicate the owner of a SPECIFIC MUD, not to generalize all the MUDs to being owned by one person. Although, Jeremy Elson does own CircleMUD, and since we are using CircleMUD to code upon, and he does have a copyright on the code, he essentially owns that part of all Circle-based MUDs. <*=-+Daniel+-=*> "Forgive me father, for I am sin." +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
