But it avoids the distribution of the files. That keeps it legal.
And there isn't a freeze exactly. More of a check-point. A time when the emu is known to be compatable with the client. As it is updated the patcher restores a more current version automatically. So it would be keeping backups of several releases of the client.
If a new person came in when it was broken, he would have to wait for the emulator to catch up to the oldest version of the client that he has. Maybe a "whine" button could be added to the gui to make it easier for them....
It isn't the best way to do it maybe, but it would be 100% legal and take the need for the player to keep track of what version he has and do it for him.
