So if you can't distribute any PRP files originally from Cyan, there will be pretty much nothing to look at on your shard. No KI, base Nexus GUI to work from, no avatar animations, or avatar selection screen, and no Cyan ages. So yeah, that license for the content is pretty important.

Lontahv's statements are a bit of hyperbole... But assuming your users can't copy the files on their own, you would have no KI, no ages, not even the avatar selection screen. It's really important that Cyan gives a content license for shard owners sooner rather than later.

Technically you could get around that by only distributing the modified bytes. As in making an application that works out what bytes have changed and distributing the changed bytes in a patch which then takes the original PRP on the clients PC and builds a modified one using that and the changed bytes(Some old Patchers for games worked like that as the patches would be smaller in size... though they take far longer to apply). None of Cyans stuff would be distributed.
