Unfortunately it's not about whether you "agree" or "disagree". It's about copyright law. Your mud is clearly derived from Diku, and is therefore a Diku derivative. You cannot simply "remove and replace" the old code.
You seemed surprised that nobody had shown an interest. The reasons given are perfectly valid explanations for that lack of interest. I would never work for someone who ripped off other peoples work, because (aside from the moral issues) the chances are that they wouldn't think twice about doing the same to me. I would not develop a mud codebase in delphi (which I don't know anyway) or for a windows platform because it would only be likely to be used by a very small number of people (if any) - and IMO the purpose of creating a public codebase is that it is useful to the public.
