[Secrets]

1. It was the tak team that told p2002 to go make a server if they did not like tak. So they did.

You can make a server but you are breaching the one simple request that we made: keep it open sourced so if someone hates your server they can make a clone of your server.

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.

So it can be preserved. I don't care who runs it, never have, but obviously I would be taken back a bit if someone were to run off with the project and make it closed source while the open source project(s) could benefit in some way. If this is farfetched to you as a software developer, then maybe you should stop looking at this like it's a for-profit venture and more like FOSS.

It's not a competition, as I have stated before. People are entitled to take Linux and download and install it, but the mentality behind the project is you can't just be like Nvidia and close-source your drivers because 'you don't want trade secrets out'.

That's not how it works, and why Linus Torvalds has said fuck you to Nvidia on multiple occasions.

But to be honest you and torven are the only ones that seem to respond with hostility to p2002 threads.

I'm pretty sure all hostility is because we were provoked into responding by members of your server. I am willing to take you serious if it isn't a competition and a competition mentality isn't promoted between us. I am also willing to put this topic aside for the greater part of what we're both working for: preserving EQMac.

We all would still probably working on tak

You can't make the claim, as a team, that you are contributing, which other developers have claimed, while other developers claim blatantly that you aren't contributing such as the above.

I have seen some path files contributed lately (and I thank you guys for that, they are great) and i've also seen comments saying 'we're withholding data you can have'. TAK is not withholding data and will never withhold data.

So drop that mentality and let's get some 2002-era EverQuest made. I am sick of reading such vile hatred for both of our projects.

I am open to working with you guys and implementing your contributions. Always have been. I don't think anyone would reject contributions because of who a person is, or what they've done. Just need to see it happen.
