I don't think Jeremy or the Diku gang are looking for small grey area cases to prosecute. The spirit of the license is that if you use circle or any other diku variant, you're on your own honor not to accept any money for what you do. If you're running it as a feature of a bbs that you already accept donations or dues for, I don't think there would be any problem assuming you don't ask for them anywhere on the mud. The license is pretty clear in that if you decide to put up a circle mud, you're agreeing to pay for all expenses out of your own pocket. It may sound harsh, but what do you want for free? :) Sam
