Request for Review of P99 Source

[tristantio]

I'm pretty sure (at least the current server source code for eqemu) is GPL, which means if any of that is reused on p99 the p99 codebase is GPL and source has to be given to anyone who requests it (as long as they've been distributed the end product - not really the case here though).

Since we're just connecting to the server and not playing a distributed game, this would not be affected by GPL (unless the project were AGPL - Affero GPL, in which case simply providing a server requires release of source code to whomever asks and uses said server).

However, I wonder if any part of the custom DLL's/distributed files that p99 provides incorporate GPL'ed code (whether GPL'ed via the eqemu server source release, or by including GPL'ed code from other GPL projects).

Edit: I'm a big fan of the AGPL myself (and use in my own projects) so if someone ends up using something I spend my time on, they can't simply close off the source by using the "service" loophole of the original GPL.
