I was a moderator here in the >past, it's a pain sometimes. :-) I have no problem about the legal discussion - it's the linking to the patch site that I consider to be of questionable status. I did initially believe it was a link to a modified version to the king. I was later told tt's a patch that modifies the "the king". At least in my unlegalize eyes - that is murkier legal waters -- but I still believe we should not be linking to patches that modify the king that allow the user to use "the king" without paying for it. I have a problem with that.
