This is a question concerning licensing clauses.... not particularly 
applicable to the list, but I'm seeking answers from various sources, so 
perhaps someone here is fairly knowledgable in software licensing 
legalese...

How valid is the "Cannot accept or solicit donations" clause of a MUD's 
license (particularly CircleMUD, tho I'm sure there are others)?  Has it 
ever been fought in court, and what was the outcome?
