So do what a Funcom employee (Toolguy) has advised you to do: Contact Funcom.
Seriously, if that is too much of a challenge to grasp, I’m not sure what you getting access to the source will achieve. Message AndyB or Nicole and ask them what hoops (legal or otherwise) you will have to jump through. While they may not be able to give you permission, at least they will know who you have to contact.
Oh… ok I didn’t realize ToolGuy was a Funcom dev. My bad. Well if he says there are legal issues there’s no reason for me to actually contact anyone else I suppose. Never mind. I guess this “conversation” has run its course.
Also: Cool your jets guys. I know the lockdown is getting to all of us. I wasn’t attacking anyone (personally or otherwise) so I suggest you keep your venom in your sacks. Jeeezzz…
Compared to most forum discussions, here and elsewhere, people were actually pretty supportive and tried to guide you to a solution to your request. Contact Funcom directly, they might surprise you. In terms of IP (story) flexibility, they have even worked with fans on independent creative works:
Sorry if you felt that you had experienced venom; if it’s me you mean, you’re very much mistaken as to my motivations and intent. If I wanted to be unhelpful I would have ignored your posts…
All Funcom employees have the small white and black flag on their icons, the same as what is on the top left of the forum page.

That’s where NDA comes in: “Non Disclosure Agreement”, something you sign, forming a legal bond, if you disclose things under NDA, you get automatically teleported to the 8th level of Hell, forced to review code automatically generated from a StackOverflow crawler bot while having to listen 10 hours loop mixes ranging from “They Are Taking the Hobbits to Isengard” to “Never Gonna Give You Up”.
