I think one thing is that you can take the current open EQ EMU server stuff, and make your own database using the P99 wiki.
So I dunno. I think those theoretical spin off projects are pretty doable for anyone who actually had the time and skill to create one.

The amount of time and work involved in doing this is significant. So much so that very few choose to actually take a shot at it and even fewer actually create anything decent. If P99 was fully open source anyone with the skills could whip up a clone and make some tweaks and be up and running with a viable and unique project of their own that might cater to a different audience or be the solution to some folks disappointment with certain aspects of P99.
What I'm getting at is what's the incentive for P99 to stay closed source? If there's no money involved why not just let the community go wild and do what they want?
