Project 1999 is an independently operated server, with Rogean on the team they can do whatever they want. Literally, he hosts the login server, no one can take him off of it either, like do you think before you make a post, honestly? Rogean is part of the Administration here, along with KLS, Cavedude, and Akkadius. If anyone has the right to do what they want, it's those guys. Also the fact of the matter is, they don't have to freely distribute something they created, their database schema is likely miles different from ours, nor is it even handled under the GPL, so that's a pointless thing to poke and prod at. Project 1999's source code is something they don't want released, they have custom code for supporting their classic experience, such as enabling old models and stuff, as well as limiting some stuff client-side. None of this has to be released unless they want it to be. And do you realize how awful it'd be to have 3,000 Project 1999 copies?
