Of course you can copyright your own things. CircleMUD can't forbid
you to do that. But note that you are using *parts* of Circle for
that code (e.g., the macros, the structures, etc.). That still doesn't
mean you can't copyright that code--actually, anything you write in
(at least) the United States is implicitly copyrighted [just harder to
prove in court if you don't get it registered]--just that it is still
using part of CircleMUD (and hence, DIKUMUD) and the license still
applies to that code.
