Why do people think the license is being violated? Here's the text of it -
"You may under no circumstances make profit on *ANY* part of DikuMud in any possible way."
Aardwolf claims to not make a profit. No choice but to believe them. Ambiguous between net profit and gross profit, but I don't think anyone wants to stretch so much to say this should be gross profit, instead of net.
"You may under no circumstances charge money for distributing any part of dikumud - this includes the usual $5 charge for "sending the disk" or "just for the disk" etc"
Giving an in-game bonus is not distributing part of the dikumud codebase - which is what they have copyrighted.
I don't see how the license can be interpreted to say rewarding donations for a diku-based non-profit mud is a violation. [b]The license prohibits a profit, and charging for distributing dikumud code.[b]
