first off, GPL is not bulls*t, it's the guarantee to have the freedom to use software if authors have decided so. Would you use a compiler where the the publisher decides what time schedules you can compile, or use the executable ? Take time to read GPL when you want, and you'll see it's not bullsh*t.

What keeps EQEmu contributors (devs or others) together, is the possibility to alter and improve EQ, with material (software and content) at maximum freedom. Else, we would play SOE's. It's faster, easier, better quality, and cheaper.
The in-topic is : do closed source loginservers harm this freedom ?
