No, I most certainly am not. My claim is the same as it was in my first post in this thread, in which I stated "And as to whether it would stand up in court - that is debatable for all licenses, and could be argued either way with the Diku license. Until such time as it is, however, I think it is reasonable enough to accept the authors definition and honour their intentions."

Not if they are outside of the mud. If you accept donations via your webpage, and those donations have no affect on the game, it would not violate the license because it would never fall under the scope of the license.

It is not as simple as that, particularly when the "meaning" depends on interpretation. Even in the case of clearly written licenses, the meaning can be interpreted differently under the laws of different countries (or even different US states).
