It was Eidos UK & Pumpkin (who is also in the UK right?) that gave
the OK I thought. I mean for original release.
Why would German law pre-empt UK law? Or does that not matter?
For that matter, US law vs UK law vs German law? What is the
difference for these kinds of matters?
I know here, you need to have a actual written letter, and it must
be certified, and I agree with Christian, I don't think you can do
it that way. If indeed Eidos gave the rights back to Pivotal, then
they would know if they did or not. We got any members from the UK
who could make a office visit? ;)
Maybe we are going about this the wrong way, perhaps we need to
contact the lawyers for Eidos (UK/US/German/EU?), whoever they may
be, and ask them for clarification?

Maybe we would get a response if we use "Press - [EMAIL PROTECTED]"?
Now, what is worse, warzone's code, or this legal stuff? :p
