Engine3 is being developed as part of this project and is being supported with donor money. However, the engine is not, and never has been, open source. I find it laughable that you expect others to open ALL their code (as you say here "...and make all their stuff available") when you have never fully opened yours. The 2.5 hour time limit has been gone on most of your major competitors' servers for quite some time, so you really aren't giving up anything.

Will the engine finally be open source? Will the engine be fully unlocked and open source upon the release of the 1.0 version of the SWGEmu? Do you intend to license the engine at a cost to SWG private severs or other MMOs or will it be provided at no cost? How can you demand every other project be ALL open source when you won't do the same? If you want "to ensure that everything is free and available to everyone" why not start with the engine that you are developing with the help of the community and their donations?

No matter what you do, most of the people who are developing on other servers have no interest in sharing their code here because they don't trust you to release a fully functioning, open source, SWG package free of charge and without restrictions to everyone that wants to run a server. All of you fanboys that think this is good for the community should demand that this project also play by these rules.
