Some comments:
1.As far as I am aware we never had a legal agreement with EA that TT would be pushed over the official updater. All we had was a an agreement that if we came up with something stable and bug free that had full community support, EA would consider it. Whether EA would consider it now given the change that has taken place in the time since Apoc left (not changes that have been a result of Apoc leaving, just changes that would likely have happened anyway) is something I do not know. Once we have something stable and bug-free enough to push over the official patcher (which will be quite a way off, we need a nice long full public beta period first) we can consider what to do (and possibly approach EA about it)
2.I have had contact with the current community manager, Eric Krause regarding the possibility of the Roleplay2 mod for Renegade going stand-alone in the same way as the Red Alert: A Path Beyond mod is stand-alone (a proposal EA said yes to) and Eric knows of Tiberan Technologies. Due to the fact that the EA legal team has become more strict on various matters recently, we do not want to push EA further on any matters related to Tiberian Technologies.
3.Any server owner can enforce scripts 4.0 and players without scripts 4.0 will be kicked with a message stating "This server requires a minimum scripts version of 4.0"
4.Olaf has told me that XWIS could push a new update for Renegade but that EA would have to give permission first.
5.Changing the XWIS MOTD to display a message about TT and 4.0 should be possible but it would be up to Olaf as to whether he wants to make the change (and whether whatever deal XWIS has with EA would let him make that change)
6.Talking to Apoc is unlikely to get us anywhere, he no longer works for EA and probably has no ability to talk to anyone at EA (at least if EA is anything like the big companies I have worked at before). Any contacts Olaf has likely to have just as much/little power as Eric has, same with any contacts that might be possible to find by visiting EA directly. Anything that happens that is as big and important as pushing TT over the official patcher would likely have to be vetted by the higher-ups and the EA legal department before it could be considered.
