You may also want to check out the Cold server, which is open source.

DGD was originally licensed to a company which has since gone bankrupt.
Skotos was a sublicensee of this company, and is itself capable of
sublicensing.

DGD can also be licensed from BeeHive Technologies, the copyright
holder.  The person who deals with email enquiries can be a bit slow,
but you'll get an answer :)  The license is not cheap, $2000/year for
non-commercial organizations (with a number of restrictions), and
$100,000 a year for full commercial use.

I am aiming DGD at the market for large commercial MUD middleware.
