I didn't question that.

You missed my point! Please, reread my posts. The MIT license doesn't 
allow you or anybody else but the copyright holder to use the registered 
trademark and name "Lua".

And the copyright holder, as spelled out by the license here:

http://www.lua.org/license.html

is Lua.org, PUC-Rio.

Comparing people discussing the future of Lua in a civil manner as 
greedy "relatives squabbling over who will inherit while
the legator is still very much alive", is quite disrespectful, IMO, and 
doesn't bring anything useful to the discussion.
