I  suppose that somebody should tell them to read the GPL. This is
something that freeciv shouldn't be excluded from, so they deserve a
response.
As for memory requirements, 64M is more than enough for the GTK2
client on fedora (and that is with a 200Mhz cpu). If the binaries they
distribute are the gtk2 windows binaries, any computer that can handle
XP/2000 should be able to handle freeciv, at least for the client.
