This all but theoretical discussion has real consequences. You claim it violates your copyright but in doing so, you must prove that your intellectual work is duplicated. open mp has code made from scratch, different routines, different algorithms, different scripting API, and just so happens to be "compatible" with the current SA-MP client. Some basic names for basic concepts may be duplicated, but any project that works with a system that has "objects", "vehicles" or "weapons" is bound to do so.

The entire point of the project is to provide better server software, fix bugs, add support for other scripting languages and so on. Nobody wants to assassinate you.

You could say that plugins do the same, and indeed, there are plugins utilizing the scripting API, the network protocol etc. that were made without your permission.
