CoEmu didnt get closed by TQ, they decided to shut down before TQ "might" have tried. And I don't want to get rich, I want to simply have enough to eat, if you think everyone's motivation in life is tones and tones of money, then you have a little problem. And as I just said, I lost my job because of health reason which are still a problem in regards to getting work, i used the time off to patch QO up.
As for the copyright issues, seeing as the server is fully my own work, there's no legal issue. An idea or a concept cannot be copyrighted, only something that physically exists. Writing a "compatible" piece of software is not an offence, there are plenty of precidents such as Openoffice.org and the chip software on compatible inkjet cartridges. If TQ play up I will take it all the way, which TQ will not want to do because they will be afraid of losing and setting a dangerous legal precident. They may have some beef about the client distribution (which is the only problem), but we can deal with that. I've lived a lot longer than most of you, had a great deal more experience, and to be bluntly honest, could probably code every one of you into the ground. How I choose to live my life is my business, how you choose to judge me is yours, but if you are judging me, then you immediately become lower than I as I never do that.
