There's no reason to do it. You use "open source" like it's some kind of answer here. We have this one most populated server, p99, and you have a list of other custom EQEmu servers. These people also put hundreds if not thousands of hours into coding their own little worlds. Why would any of them release their source code and adopt an open source development paradigm? Specially in the case of p99, where they're doing just fine on their own developing the world, adding content, and fixing bugs.

it's not about "doing just fine", the P1999 team is doing great things. it's about sharing works and giving to a community. P1999 very likely wouldn't exist if PEQ weren't open source. many large projects go open source for a variety of reasons, from economical to philosophical. this isn't about the P1999 team owing anyone anything, or about open source somehow helping the team or making P1999 better; i am just asking if the P1999 team plans to go this route at some point in the foreseeable future, as many community projects do.
