I'm not associated with the above MUD... however, the link I saw was for donations. I assume by your statement you were implying that is in some way against the license, which it is not (this was clarified to me by Hans-Henrik, as well).

The DikuMUD team can not control what you do on your webpage, nor do they wish to (as long as you're not charging for access to DikuMUD code, or the like). You can sell MUD-related materials via your MUD's website (Hans-Henrik even told me they encourage this method of supporting your MUD). MUD-related, I should define, means materials related to the concept and theme of your MUD... not DikuMUD related.

If, however, I have misunderstood the intent of your statement, I apologize.

But, if you have any questions about this you might want to speak with Hans-Henrik... he seems to be extremely willing to provide information both about the intent of the license and ways that you can do certain things without violating it. When I questioned him about paying coders (and whether they felt it would be a violation of their license), he explained the intent behind the license and then provided me examples of ways that one could pay their coder without putting that coder in violation of the license (both in their eyes, and in the eyes of the license).
