I link the above not because I agree with what it says, but because its the only thing I could find where someone states that p1999 is based on eqemu, Nilbog replies and does not refute that specific assertion.

As you can see, this has come up before and elsewhere.
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server :
The server code and utilities are released under GPLv3
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq...cePostedPublic
The GPL does not require you to release your modified version, or any part of it. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.

You're not owed anything, not even an expectation of intent or purpose.
That said, I believe releasing the code would produce a dozen short lived half attempts that would reduce the ever diminishing present population.
