Keep looking. A quick check on sourceforge came up with over 900 MUD
related projects including several complete MUD servers all licensed
under an open source license that allows you to run a server for profit.

It may be that he doesn't understand the licenses. Looking at
sourceforge I quickly found tinyMUD and LambdaMOO were there. All free
for the taking and using.
