This is really getting ludicrous.
Every single MUD admin with an ounce of ethics knows that DIKU is not for commercial use.
Every single MUD admin with an ounce of ethics knows that this extends to using _any_ part of DIKU in exchange for money.
The only people I've seen arguing and splitting hairs about the meaning of every single word in the license are those intent on breaking it.
You can twist it every way you want, the fact remains: you _know_ what the DIKU team meant. If you want to make money off the MUD, stop using a DIKUrative.
Have you no honour? No decency? If you're proud of being the scourge of the mudding community, good for you, but spare us your pathetic legalese hair-splitting, wriggling and distorting and endless discussions of what "making any profit" means.
If you can't get your players to donate without exchanging in-game benefits, that certainly doesn't speak well of the quality of your MUD and your administration.
