Ryan has released his copyright over the map of Micras. Under the terms, the names of Ryan Caruso, Erik Metzler and Scott Alexander are to be affixed to the map under all circumstances. This basically means the map of Micras is now open for the entire community to use, provided they follow the terms laid out in that post. The MCS obviously still uses Micras, but now this means a fake MCS would be entirely legal.
A question - why can I Sticky/Announce/Global this post?

My question is why did he do such a thing?

Re: The Release of the Micras copyright
It makes sense to me, if people kept complaining at him about whatever in the map. He did commit some slight abuse of notation there though... it doesn't really make any legal sense to "release the copyright" while still keeping restrictions on how people may use the map... the only way to interpret what he did that makes sense to me is to say he still owns the copyright and only changed the redistribution and modification license.
No-one should be without a parasol, Sirocco.

I think you're right there Ari, but hopefully we'll never argue about Micras so much that that would become an issue.
