There may be some legal stuff that one could argue, and whether things would stand up in court or not. I'm no lawyer. But it seems to me that their intent was clear; give them credit, and don't make money off their work.
Regardless of whether this will hold up in court or not, it seems like it should be up to our community to enforce it, namely by not supporting MUDs that break it. Aardwolf posted that they "agreed to disagree" with the DIKU people. Sounds like he's basically flaunting the fact that DIKU can't/won't spend the money to enforce it.
It's like saying "Hey, thanks for creating this stuff long ago. You don't agree with how we're using it? Well, thankfully you're toothless, so why don't we just ignore that part and move on."
In my opinion, that should make people who enjoy mudding fairly mad. I'll suffice this by saying I have no knowledge of this sitation beyond the posts in this thread, so I'm just offering my opinion from that.
