I'm going to pretend you didn't mention the DIKU license

The DGD license specifically prohibits use from which "any... promotional value is received" and also says that "use... to promote or support a commercial venture is included in this restriction".

I guess the question is would operating the MUD 'promote or support' your other commercial ventures?

You could always just save yourself the trouble and use a codebase that doesn't have a restrictive license such as Nakedmud or ColdC.
