[mohaa] What I learned in Educational Psych 101:

[Mike Mabe]

I never meant to imply that it would be "OK" to do it because you wouldn't 
get prosecuted, and I did mention that zipping up the files would do little 
good as they are already "compressed" fairly well. But for discussion what 
you are saying is that the only way to host a dedicated linux mohaa game 
would be to buy a copy of the game for each and every instence of the game 
server you have running?
