Good,
Any progress on any freely redistributable games? I'm not
100% comfortable with
this as nagi could be concidered an emulator (its not but
its close), and then
it would need to follow the emulator guidelines.
The big problem here is that games like Larry and Space
quest are big
commercial hits, and that although they had almost 0 copy
protection, Sierra
could still try to claim that AGI interpreters circumvention
some level of copy
protection / in some way are contributory copyright
infringement. I know this
is a long shot, but it still worries me. I know very well
that this could still
happen if we have freely distributable games, but then
atleast we have
signicant non infring use.
I see 2 solutions here:
1) Ask Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa redhat.com>, if he says its ok its ok,
explain that nagi is needed for agi studio, and thus has
some use outside of
any free content
2) Contact freeware AGI Games Authors and get a free
distribution permission
from them
I would think 1) is the best, because even if we have 2) I
would still like to
see Tom's approval for this.
Regards,
Hans
