This whole debate seems like a no-brainer to me. The spirit of diku and circle is uncommercial, and simply put, the creators of those didn't want games where individuals could buy their way to any sort of in-game advantage, even if those funds are put to good "everyone will benefit from it" use.
This doesn't at all preclude players and imms getting together to buy a better server, more memory. The latter is just a nice cooperative venture for people, both imms and players, to make their favourite hangout a bit zippier. Having spearheaded such a fundraising effort myself, that was the reply I got when I contacted Olsen to check if what I was doing was ok. He was cool with it - so long as there wasn't any in-game gain.
