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@xxxxxxxxxx>, 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
