    After years of limbo and changing hands, with initial attempts by an open source community to raise money in order to BUY Ryzom, it's about time it went open. It's been in the eyes of open source after the original developers announced they were selling it. I once payed to play it but since development, and player base, was essentially dead there was no incentive to play. Now, maybe, it might gain something like a new life.

    Awesome.

    Can please tell me where in the AGPL this "implicit right" is derived. Because I read it and I think you're full of shit.
