I have a server I've written from scratch, and can therefore charge for it
if I want.  I don't plan on it, but I'd be willing to license it to
someone who did want to charge, provided I got a percentage.  I'm not
going to sell or give away the 'world' though, at least not yet.  First of
all, my builders wrote much of it, and secondly, I want to have a unique
MUD :)

The server is free for non-comercial use and the source code can be
found on my web page...

It's still beta, so work would need to be done.  I don't know about
taking on extra coders, but if you're really interested we might could
work out something....  I will of course continue to release fixes as I
make them....

I would agree on that one..see the spamage on RGMA.
