There's already a whole lot of people that use it (Minilogin) as-is. I get 'thank you' emails and PMs all the time from Minilogin users, they just don't post because they got their own thing going with friends and family.
I really am not interested in the public login anymore, even if it is not open source, there still is nothing else 'open' about it - and if it does one day come to and end, MiniLogin will keep EqEmu alive.
EDIT; By 'thank you' emails, I mean for all the help we gave people getting them going under MiniLogin.

I know the biggest reason why people shy away from minilogin is the extra steps involed to make boxing happen without getting accounts booted. I'm still unsure why the login needs to be controlled by a select few, if the binaries are released the source is still protected.
We want to grow and having huge downtime is never a good thing. I Know this is all wasted words since this topic has been hashed over for a long time now, and it still is as it was.
