protections we put in place...

Surely these are part of the server application that they're being asked to open-source. If they're trying to weasel out of releasing the security related parts of the application, it's probably because they have other games using the same security code, and they don't want that made public. And this implies that they're relying on security-through-obscurity, in other words no security at all. So basically we're forcing them to adopt proper security procedures, and they dont like it.
