Wouldn't that be a bit dumb on their part though? I mean if you're not
making any money from it, then obviously they have nothing to gain? Hiring
lawyers and such can't be cheap for them.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] To the developers of Montezuma's Revenge
Hi Yohandy,
Like I said to Will I'll be uploading an updated beta for those who want
it sometime between now and the weekend. However, keep in mind that the
Montezuma's Revenge beta, the last beta that was released, is extremely
buggy and since it is now basically abandonware there won't be any
patches, updates, or bug fixes forth coming.
As far as releasing the game as freeware that is no protection from a
lawsuit. Under U.S. copyright law they can still file a lawsuit if they
feel their copyrights have been violated. Weather or not they would do or
say anything about it is another matter, but they legally could do it if
they wanted to. That's why I am changing the name, and also removing any
thing to do with Montezuma's Revenge from the new side-scroller i am
writing.

I personally would love to grab a copy of the newest beta. It's a shame
that all that hard work was wasted so close to completion. If you release
it as freeware, they can't sue you, correct? Also, why couldn't you
simply change the name of the game and release it as something else? It's
not as if the devs played it, or even know what the game contains. all
that you'd need to do is remove all montezuma references.
