They're released the game engine and graphics, not the world data.
That allows people to create their own games based on the Ryzom engine as well as create updates to the engine (the latter must under GPL be contributed back to the community, submitted to WG for possible inclusion in the official release).
I'm not too worried about people setting up some fake ryzom private server where everyone starts at all mastered skills and can bash bosses and gank all day long, everywhere, Korean mmo style.
I AM worried about hacked clients, bots, and things like that. AFK levelling on great jabs anyone? Someone sets up 2-3 bots, goes to bed, and for 12 hours noone can do anything there because they're constantly dead.
