That's also exactly what I wrote.

Why? It will really push the group operating LEGOFan.net
to keep doing their best. Isn't that good?

That's what I wrote. LEGOFan.net will of course not be
able to force other sites to do the same. And I have a
strong suspicion that for example LEGO and the Bricksmiths
would like that there also was an alternative option.
On the other hand - both LEGO and the Bricksmiths seem to
be happy with Lugnet, where they hand over just as many
rights as publishing under an Open Source license would
mean.

No. Also with all the old content. That's the whole
point.

But it is, if you read what I write, instead of just
saying "that can't be true".
Play well,
