  I hope turtle open sources
Have private servers shared their work at all? I have a feeling that everyone is redoing everyone's work and keep it private out of rivalry.

I was involved in another mmo's private server scene- what happened there was the source code for servers would get released after a server is taken down (whether by DMCA, or just pure infighting), then people build on top of that, then repeat. I would say a vast majority of the source code is not released to the public.
