it they will get shutdown once they make it official (that is why Aion dev.s share the work they did)
sorry for my bad english.
No it won't, it is not illegal to reverse engineer a piece of software to do an identical task to an original in most of the world (the US is a notable exception to that unfortunately but, for some amazing reasoning just about anything that is created in a way that is against US law can be imported into the US so long as it isn't made in the US, I know, retarded isn't it). Either way, the Aion original emu devs released it as open source for obvious reasons, to get other people helping them, if it wasn't released as open source it wouldn't really have gotten anywhere
To be honest though we can all continue to use Wanmei's software as it is due to the fact they think we are negligible from using old versions... (and also probably want to keep people that don't know about private servers in the dark, making a legal fuss about it will probably have it end up in the news and then lots of people will know about it etc...)
