One particularly excellent reason is that, in my case, the original code
base (nightmare 3.x basis) was later withdrawn from circulation and
declared as unavailable to anybody for any future projects. As a result,
I am probably one of only 2 or 3 muds still using this codebase, and if
something happens to my server, I would be in 'violation' of the current
license if I start over from scratch -- a GPL mud could not be
"un-released" in this manner.
