This is a common misconception. We are 100% allowed to use whatever materials we have on our PCs as long as we do not distribute them, which we aren't. If you want to use EQ's zones, you _must_ have acquired them from SOE.
Hmm.
The everquest licence states that you are authorized to use the "software" *solely* in connection with playing the game via an authorized and fully paid account.

As the licence is the only thing granting you any rights to use the "software" *at all*, breaking this condition means that you have no rights to use the files in any way.

You might not like this condition.
You might not think this applies to you.
You might not think this condition is enforcable.
You might not think sony will care enough to do anything about it.

But it's there.



I think that openeq needs to decide if they want to emulate an eq client, or if they want to create a new game. In which case MNJ is right, why base it on eq at all? I think this project needs a clear vision
