request to get Master Server code for Tribes 2

This is my official request for Tribes 2 Master Server code.
Stand alone Master Server Code.

Many if not all links to OpenTNL are dead-ends.
TNL is included with all Torque Game engines and as a seperate Package for developers that wish to incorporate TNL into their own Game engine.
Every Google trick I know to locate what I seek to find on the Internet has lead to 2 days of dead-ends.
Even if I was able to locate Tribes / Tribes 2 game code to get a grasp of the Master Server specific code,
I would still need to take a class in College or spend years self training to figure out what parts of the code are actually necessary to build a Stand-Alone Master Server.. but the last 2 days was atleast an effort to get answers.

I discovered that back in 2001 a request for Master Server code was initiated and the response was

I'm not sure, a release of the master server is currently not on our high priority list. If there's enough interest, we can reconsider, but it seems like there's more important tasks to work on.

by Tim Gift

Since 2001 there have been many requests for the same Master Server code supplied as a stand alone .exe for the purpose of Testing or Deployment.
This is now December 2009, and the engine has Grown by leaps and bounds. I am sure thousands of licenses have been sold and none of them have included this simple request.. Stand alone Master Server code.

There is a post from Ben Garney ( when he was employed with GG ), to simply open the TNL and roll-your-own Master Server.
If this process was so easy for the vast majority of Torque License holders, then I would not have posted here for the request and I wouldn't have included a very small fraction of links to the same.

Now GG is going through a company Name change, has moved, and built Torque by leaps and bounds, ( thanks to all the license holders to keep it going )... but those of us that have been buying the licenses in hopes of learning the engine and hopefuls of building the next great game still have not been answered to our request.

Finally the last link above is another request for the Master Server code.
Is this still not a priority?
Is this on the priority list at all?
It would seem to me personally, that supplying license holders with a full blown, no-holds-barred, fully filtered and expandable Master Server code is way over due.

Thoughts?
