Nope. Although if Aardwolf is a "hobby" rather than a "business", it will also have to pay tax on all of its income. Also, after three years of yielding an income, a hobby is considered a business and you are required to report it as self-employment income. How long did you say Aardwolf had been selling in-game gear, again?
Not at all. Although Aardwolf is hardly the first mud to jump into first position so quickly, it was the first mud for quite a while that had managed to knock Achaea from that spot. You'll notice that most of us were cheering it on (even the owner of Achaea) until someone pointed out that it was violating the license. What we are "irritated" by is people who flaunt mud licenses, thus discouraging other mud developers for contributing back into the community.
I am not crying "Ban Aardwolf", I am simply pointing out that they are violating the Diku license. And FYI, Medievia was also banned for violating the license.
"Ownership of the license"? Surely you mean ownership of copyright? Diku is registered with the US Copyright office, so I'm not sure how much clearer ownership could be...
