Depends on the license and the people involved.

I'm a developer over at EQEmulator and I can safely say that they're allowed to use our code for whatever purpose they want.

What isn't allowed however is people like you coming into our community and demanding that people make a server. Regardless of hardware or provisions needed, this project has goals and a random person's goals who wants to use their arrogance to achieve their own is not one of them.

You are welcome to use our code on your own EQEmulator server, though, and tweak it to be classic. That's completely fine, though, don't expect our support for making a fuss like this in one of our communities.
