I understand the passion behind the free software notion, however, +in the very field of MMORPG, the inability to protect your rules - +the spirit of your game - leaves the opportunity to a greater +company, if they happen to be popular, to deprive you of the pleasure +of running your game by draining your playerbase by using its marketing +power.
