abstract
  • Medievia is a MUD, an online text-based role-playing game. The game was initially created by Michael A. "Highlander" Smith, Anthony "Balor" Rowley, and Michael "Vryce" Krause in March 1992, using the Merc 1.00 MUD engine. The relationship between the Merc MUD codebase and Medievia's code is the subject of some controversy.
  • Medievia has been, and will continue to be a center point of controversy amongst the open source community. In 1993, the founder, owner and operator of Medievia, Michael Krause, broke the Merc license, disavowing all relations with the codebase which the MUD was founded on. The Merc license states that you must leave all credits of the original code authors in tact, you are never allowed to remove the credits, or charge money to give any player special game benefits. Krause claims to have completely rewritten the code, therefore nullifying the agreement between Medievia and it's Merc base, however the license agreement also covers derivative works, making Krause's claim invalid.
