Ad hominem or can you answer my question?

Here, I'll answer it: Yes, it's GPL. As an old developer myself I can tell you there's a cold chance in hell P99 will give you their source code. Even if you do manage to get that from them, you'd still need the database - which isn't covered under GPL.

TL;DR you got banned for P99 and are pretty mad about it and are looking at ways to bring them down. Been there, done that, realized it was more important to, you know, actually fucking work on a project instead of bitch all day on message boards.

I mean you posted so many threads over on the p1999 forums they basically not only banned you, but deleted just about every thread you ever started. You can only be trolling over here, you know what you are doing, so cut it out.

And I quote....

“You’ve ruined your own lands, you’ll not ruin mine!”

So leave my beloved EqEmu alone.

I think what needs to happen is they need to be removed from EQEmu server list because they have violated the GPL. I was never banned btw. I left. Pretty sure the database is part of EQEmu's copyrighted material so that is included in the GPL as well.

Why would we remove them when they have done nothing wrong?

You're fucking butthurt, kid. Get over it.

The GPL clauses you believe them to be violating only kick in when the binaries are redistributed. And the only requirement is that they provide source to those that have been distributed the binaries to.
