I agree with most of what you wrote, but this, sir, is grade-A bullshit.
1 - Giving it away absolutely would not defeat the purpose of their hard work: P99 would still be the only classic server hitting 800 people every night, and would still be the only server with a dedicated GM and dev staff that actually changes and updates things as they come up. It would always be head-and-shoulders above imitators in both quantity of players and quality of play experience.
2 - It disincentivizes others from working hard? Are you serious? Imagine if Leibniz and Newton had said "no, go invent your own damn calculus, moochers!"
