The license doesn't say distribution of software. It specifies - of ANY PART OF DIKUMUD. It further includes the disk itself, but inclusion of one thing does not exclude another, when it already specifies "any part of" in the first place.

That means no one can use the code, the software, the diskette, the CD, the name DIKU, the name DIKUMUD, any of the paragraphs written for room descriptions, any of the instructions, any of the comments - ANY PART - if they charge for it.

You cannot charge for any part of dikumud. Says so right there, you pasted the license section yourself. It doesn't say any part "except that part" and it doesn't say any part "unless you aren't profitting from it." It says any part. Period.
