Oops, I just noticed a fallacy both in Detah's calculations and in my post a bit above, where I just 'inherited' her figures.

The fact that CIRCLE has a more strict license than the other DIKU derived codebases, doesn't mean that all of those other MUDS accept donations. The DIKU license only states that you cannot give in-game rewards for donations, making it perfectly legit to sell mousepads and other stuff from the website.

And even so I don't think that the majority of the DIKU based Muds rely on donations at all. In fact I believe that the majority of them don't.

Consequently all those would click the No Donations/Payment of any kind button too, giving a considerably higher figure.
