If a server's patcher has any copyrighted files, you can't link to it either!
This seems to be where most of the people that break the rules screw up: they link to a server whose patcher distributes copyrighted Sony files.
This, too, falls under the category of "linking to sites that distribute copyrighted files" and is a TOS violation.
If the server distributes ONLY customized zone files, then mentioning it is permissible.
If it distributes any of the EQ executables or SOE zone files, then it is distributing copyrighted files. In that case, you are NOT permitted to link to it, nor mention it as a way to solve client version problems.
Hope that helps for anyone who was unclear on that.
