It doesn't matter at all that no-one is gaining financially, a thing
like Dooruh that is being actively exploited by its owners will
probably trigger the corporate immune systems - it's a matter of
control and exclusivity for their IP, they can't really say "this
unauthorized use is prohibited, but that one is OK" - they will just
blanket-bomb any attempts at unauthorised use.  I agree with Sean's
caution, and vote for keeping it off radar.
