not until they release the NXT client under a license that allows others than
Jagex to distribute the content. Currently the license says:


2 RESTRICTIONS
.
2.1 Except as expressly set out in this Licence or as permitted by any local 
law, you undertake:
a. not to, in whole or in part, copy, reproduce, disassemble, decompile, 
reverse-engineer or create derivative works of the Software; except where such 
copying is incidental to normal use of the Software;
b. not to rent, sell, lease, sub-licence, loan, publish, display, distribute or 
otherwise transfer to a third party the Software, any copy thereof, in whole or 
in part;
c. not to translate, merge, adapt, vary or make alterations to, or 
modifications of, the whole or any part of the Software, nor permit the 
Software or any part of it to be combined with, or become incorporated in, any 
other programs; and

cheers, josch
