What has this forum become?

it's a microcosm of how people work.

first people do things

then people do other things

then people accuse people of things

this becomes a problem so they try to change things

then people dont want to change things and so they start fighting

then they all destroy everything that they had because people are animals.

You're 100% right. We are animals.

At least we know for sure that Loramin is unbiased!

Ok, since the law doesn't seem to be swaying people, let's look at the logic behind it.

A bunch of programmers on the EQ Emulator project wrote a lot of code, to let people enjoy this great game of EverQuest. It was a lot of work. They said to the world "hey world, you can use all our work, for free! The only price is that you have to share what you add."

Rogean and Nilbog came along and said "thanks for all that free work, we'll totally use it on our project ... but fuck you, we're not sharing, we're just taking your code illegally".

Does that bother anyone else?

i agree with loramin, they have the intellectual property of literally thousands of people

It's not a criminal violation, you just don't get the copyright protection if you don't adhere to the license terms. So you couldn't sue under their aegis if it was stolen, etc.

Hope this helps.
