Yes, the way to do this is to pull an A/UX and reimplement the MacTCP API.

Yup indeed, this is a possibility. 🙂

if you want to produce something really useful, you'll also want to come up with an atlk/adev pair to allow DDP over it.

Completely understandable, my only counter is that everything we do is open source, and freely available, now and forever. We want people to use our stuff; without reservation.

Are you okay with the GPL? That's what MiniVNC is currently licensed as. It has a little bit of vestigial code I borrowed from the now-obsolete ChromiumVNC, so even though I wrote the majority of it myself, I'm not sure I'm at liberty to change the license.

That said, the license issue is moot if a MacTCP compatibility layer were in place 😄

Yes. Everything we release is GPL v. 3. We want this to always be free.
