The end of Rock Patch

[Bobingabout]

hmmmm, still technically comes under hacked, or wares beacuse of the eula violation, and therefore can't be copyright.

You're missing the point. You are in violation of copyright law because you illegally distribute his code (if there is no notice in the archives stating that you are allowed to do that). EA knows about RockPatch, and, as far as I know, doesn't care for it.

good luck enforcing it.

anyway, i did say i'd stick with RPCE, and is still available in the currently released version of R:ROTC, you already cleared speeder to re-distribute it with MO, why should he get special treatment when there are other mods that depend on it as much.

anyway, if you plan to re-write the entire engine, then you are most likely wasting your time. why? PD already started this once, and quit, and i can understand why, OTTD, a far simpler game, took an entire year of coding before it got to a playable state. and, have you seen the TS re-write project? they've been even longer.
