Well people, we are still alive so far. We are currently talking to LucasArts
to see if we can negotiate a deal. To be honest, while we hope it is possible,
we are dubious that the deal LucasArts may provide can give us certain
freedoms we need to develop. One of the biggest fears of most companies is
the GPL (General Public License). Some companies feel this gives users far too
much latitude in use of their software. Unfortunatly, if LEC feels the same way,
we may have to reject their offer. It is close on impossible to relicense GPLed
software, as it would mean getting permission from anyone who ever wrote even
one line of code included in ScummVM.<BR><BR>
So far most of our communication has been off-the-record and fairly vauge,
but be assured we havn't vanished, and we'll give you the latest news as it
happens!

Also, thanks to people donating. We are currently at a little over $100, which
is tagged to be spent on both buying versions of games for testing, and also
saving up to our target of $300 to purchase a copy of IDA Pro, arguably the
best disassembler on earth. Keep donating :)
