On the contrary, this would
help every other EQ Emu.
Look, we like to pretend Rogean and Nilbog spun this place out of whole cloth, but they didn't: they're standing on the shoulders of giants (ie. the EQ Emulator devs).
Now I know those people are faceless, but I'm talking about people just like R&N here: people so passionate about EverQuest that they spend years of their life writing code to try to simulate the original servers. R&N came along, took what they offered, and (legally speaking) spat in their face.
But if R&N complied with their legal obligation, TakP, PEQ, etc. could all incorporate improvements that R&N have made into their servers. In other words, it would do exactly what the GPL3 was designed to do: ensure that any improvements made by one user get shared to others so that all benefit.
R&N are quite literally standing in the way of improving the very servers you mentioned by not sharing their code as required by GPL3.
