The code you stole wasn't open sourced. Just because it's posted to Github doesn't mean i't open sourced.
Following Disney's decision to close LucasArts on April 3, 2013, the developers at Raven Software released the source code for the game on SourceForge under GNU GPLv2 licensing.[22] A few days after release, the source code disappeared from SourceForge without explanation. SourceForge later explained to media outlet Kotaku that Raven Software had requested its removal. Kotaku speculated this was due to the presence of licensed code, such as for the Bink Video format from Rad Game Tools, that was not intended to be made public.[23]

What you're saying is this; If you're writing a book, and the manuscript was stolen and then put online it becomes open sourced and everyone can copy it and publish it without your consent because it's on a website public for everyone to take.
Which is wrong. The Source for Legacy's core was released online because of some disgruntled Ex-Programmer who wanted to make a jab at Legacy. What you're doing, Wake, is morally and legally wrong. As the Codes weren't made or owned by you, and the codes aren't illegal. Trinity Core is 100% legal, and free for you to build on but not for you to take other people's work (which is also 100% legal).
So what I take from this is, Wake is a Server that steals other's people work and try to claim it's open source so they can do it, when they know full well the context and the situation around why the core was release was not legitimate.
