It is not allowed to run any gserver online.

Very old Graal versions - 1.28 and 1.3, if I remember correctly - shipped with a gserver.exe that was allowed to be used for local network games, not on the internet.
The 1.39 gserver was never given out and is therefore plain stolen software. It is illegal to possess it, and more illegal to run it, and illegal does not mean banhammer-illegal but court-illegal here.
It is also not legal to redistribute Graal (client/server) software like they do.
Playing on illegal 1.39 gservers is not legal either because this usage of the graal client is not permitted by the licence it is distributed under.
Also it is plain foolish to download 1.39 clients from such websites run by antigraalians, as they most likely contain trojan horses or other malicious software.
