meh p99 didn't start out as an opensource db, so no worries at all. Now there was this other emu, a space game that shut down, and the emu devs ran the project opensource with no worries about others opening servers. Lots of people donated to the project considerably, and everyone played there.
But then there was a changing of the guard, a whole other set of devs took over the project, said oh no we cant allow that and closed the project code/db, started talking about making money off of premium content. See now that was screwed.
But p99 has always been a closed dev project, no tricks so to contribute to one day having your own server. Just enjoy the ride imo.
