  I remember this one. I don’t know why they haven’t been DMCA-ed yet because you can’t make open-source programs based on the disassembly of proprietary projects (unless they have acquired the rights somehow which I doubt).

    So it’s not quite as clear cut as this. This is why even nintendo disassembly projects survive. There are allowances for this kind of thing.

    repository.uclawsf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl… is a good representation of the legalities around disassemblies

      You cannot change the license of a derivative work. That part is clear cut.

      I cannot take a Harry Potter book, use Google Translate to translate it into another language, polish up the result by hand, and then claim it as my work at slap whatever license I like on it.

    Is the original version even in print anymore? It’s really hard to believe that the “juice” of getting this taken down would be worth the squeeze.

    I tried this some time ago. It’s basically the same game, just with some QoL improvement like widescreen support, and also dynamic lighting which is cool.
