I'd love to remove the "no monetary gain" clause from lpmud, however, most of the
contributors of former years have vanished off the net and can't be asked if they
changed their minds, so I'd have to rewrite their parts from scratch.

Otoh (and because other mails mentioned this), in the LPC world it is acceptable
to ask for voluntary donations for the game, given that donators do not get
preferred treatment, and that the donations are used for the upkeep of the game
only.

Similar, inclusion of the driver in software collections is usually ok as long as
this has no effect on the price of the collection.
