Also pay attention to the license. Dworkin doesn't stop commerical
use, but he puts a hefty fee on his server. The situation becomes
worse, if you want to use DGD to run LPMOO which then can run LambdaMOO.
I don't know the license of LPMOO, but LambdaMOO (the database) is
too messed up for any public use.

The only mud that has a clear and unrestricted license for both
server and database is ogham. Cool has a GPL; all the rest have
some problems as far as copyright/licensing.

My hope is that any vrml-mud that may be built also have a license
that is unrestrictive. The Xerox license on the LambdaMOO server
is an good example of what's needed.
