No. "You must not use CircleMUD to make money or be compensated in
any way." trivially violates DFSG #1 and #6. The DikuMUD license has
a similar issue and a problematic notification clause ("you must send
us a message , by snail-mail or e-mail, and inform us where and when
you are running the game. (remember to include your address, name
etc.)").
