Yes, you can create your own mud from scratch. The flame threads you're talking about concern muds who claim to have transformed into scratch, after starting out as Diku muds (and the specific example you gave concerns a mud which has been proven to contain large amounts of stock code at a time it was claiming to be written from scratch).
But as long as you start out from nothing, and don't use any of the Diku code - not even as a reference - I highly doubt you'll get flamed (unless your end product looks exactly like a DikuMUD, in which case some people may not believe you).
