    People who believe this is to benefit private server development are delusional


    Forcing, not asking, peoples work to suddenly become open source seems alot to ask especially since some of those servers have been around for years.


    Considering how many projects have used leaked source as feature boosters, which is readily available as many of you know, Im not sure why making servers like bloodfin go open source would benefit anyone.

    I agree , while this is a good idea overall , how will this be enforced? it could bring negative attention to the project if you try to force it . the implications of this are deep for sure... I'm glad it was done though , maybe DEV things will go a bit faster now.

    Legal actions, where applicable.
