I believe Rog is under NDA for this, but I believe the agreement is something like, "Do not open any more servers, do not allow a cashflow stream to be generated, or we will serve a C&D"

The P99 Agreement was posted, and it explicitly says that everything must be released as it was.

In addition: Daybreak drafted an agreement with ALL EqEmu operators after the whole THJ debacle,

7. All EQEmulator gameplay must remain exactly the same as the original EverQuest game. You shall not add, alter, or introduce any scripts, plug-ins, artwork, maps, assets, or other materials that change, extend, or replace the original EverQuest gameplay experiences, rules, mechanics, character traits, artwork, or strategies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are permitted to make minor changes or additions to add custom content (e.g., a new NPC, a new quest, a holiday event, etc.) provided that (i) you do not materially alter the difficulty of the game or fundamental gameplay mechanics, and (ii) by adding such custom content you agree to enforce a lower player cap as specified in Section 9, below.

9. Each EQEmulator game shall be operated as a single server with a population cap, such that the number of concurrent users playing on the server at any given time shall not exceed eight hundred (800); provided, however, in the event you add custom content in accordance with section 7, above, the enforced player cap shall be four hundred (400).

Minus the player cap portion, I think it's the same thing that Rogean agreed to.
