Again, copyright on what? They didn't copy the server code: they wrote it 100% from scratch (and, again, it's impossible for anyone to copy that code, as it's been lost to time). You don't need to be a lawyer to know you can't "violate" copyright on something you aren't copying!
But again, all the art and code in the Titanium client 100% is copyrighted ... which is why R&N won't touch it with a ten foot pole.

This isn’t 100% true. If you create the exact same game...same mechanics, same visual effects and art and graphics, same names for everything, etc. etc. you can probably still get dinged for copyright violations because it’s not just code that’s subject to it.
The analogy here would be like painting the same exact thing using a different type of paint.
