It is not speculation. You took advantage of an open source project and threw their development team under the bus that made your server possible by claiming their work as your own. Just because you are 'closed source' doesn't mean it gives you an excuse to claim everything you have done as yours.

You can not make this statement. For two reasons.
1. It was the tak team that told p2002 to go make a server if they did not like tak. So they did.
2. Every open source project is out there in the wild is to be taken advantage of... that is kind of the entire point of open source. Even p99 took advantage of some older EQEMU code when they got started. I bet their database wasn't even from scratch. So the logic in this argument is flawed if you didn't want people to take what you started and use it for enjoyment then why publish it as open source in the first place.
I think the key thing everyone forget is that the majority of p2002 developers were beta testers from tak WE HELPED BUILD IT. You you simply can not make the claim we took advantage of tak when in fact we were apart of tak. That would be like taking advantage of yourself which can be quite pleasurable.
I will dump both of the databases so you can see the content diff and you can see how much of tak we actually kept if you are that concerned about it. But to be honest you and torven are the only ones that seem to respond with hostility to p2002 threads. Its like you play a game to bait wharhogg out to look like an idiot (which he is quite good at).
All in all P2002 was born because some of the developers on the tak project have personality conflicts with the P2002 staff and in order to make the play ground fun again we decided to part ways. We all would still probably working on tak if those rough edges hadn't of collided.
