To be fair: Verant was always affiliated with Sony, they were a spin off from 989 which was owned by Sony... or did you always think Qeynos was a happy coincidence?
It's pretty silly to think that they would use anyone else's work if they actually wanted to make a classic server. Which I'm not convinced they do, a classic server would be nice for a while but it would eventually lose it's appeal as the nostalgia wore off. Really though, if they wanted to they have all the things in place and it's simply a matter of making another ruleset and turning off some server features and it's pretty much done aside from a bit of content tweaking.
Keep going though, this thread is pretty amusing.
