Here are a few options, this isn't exhaustive:

  • release source code
  • release server binaries, like Minecraft and others do
  • release server API docs and help the community build their own
  • disable the online bits
  • move the online bits to P2P to not need a server
  • embed the server in the client to allow people to host

There are lots of options here.
