MS 3.0.3 is public domain.
MSE is simply the 3.0.3 release which has had a tiny bit of work done to it, and has been re-released with a license. Because 3.0.3 is Public Domain, anyone could do that. I could re-release MS 3.0.3 as something else, and force people to pay for it if I wanted.
The thing is, no one actually cares about the MSE License that much. When William bought Mirage off of Shan, he bought the domain, the forum and MSE. If he wanted, he could re-release MSE as public domain, or let us release MS3 as Public Domain.
When it comes down to it, we'll have to use a license like MSE unless William lets us release as public domain.
