Getting permission to copy Goon's Genetics system

Has anyone actually tried asking them?


They made it pretty clear they won't give out whole sections, BUT they've also said they are willing to give out bits and pieces to other servers who ask.


Maybe don't have for the entire genetics code, but ask for certain smaller bits that you could put together to form our own version? They undoubtedly don't want to give out anything that has 'secret's, but they may give us the standard genetics stuff they have and we could build from there? At that point you'd just have to go there...play genetics for awhile... and code in what you notice.

The question, for me, is how much we want to respect Goon's decisions. I'm a crafty/shifty person - I am 99% certain that I could find a way to obtain Gooncode without either them knowing, or them needing to interact with us (I already got a few ideas).


That would most definitely violate their decision/right to preserve their code, though, and it might create some bad blood between the servers if discovered.

That would also my own code of stealing closed source code without permission.

The two options I can see you having here would be to get them to give permission for it or recreate it.
