You may find of interest. In particular:
If you register the work before the infringement begins or within three months of the date the work ispublished, you may be entitled to recover standard damages from the infringer, in addition to your actual damages:
* your attorney fees and court costs, and
* "statutory damages" -- special damages of up to $100,000 per infringement -- without having to establish what damage you actually suffered.
The Diku team could also claim that by using the mud commercially, the user was avoiding paying for the Diku II licence.
I fail to see any evidence which would suggest that. The fact is that the Diku team are the copyright holders - they don't need to follow their own licence, because as the authors they already have the rights granted under copyright law.
