Ah, yes, that will do nicely.

Personally, I don't think LucasArts could, legally, shut us down; we're
*not* using any of their IP, as ScummVM is a clean-room reimplementation
from the published documentation, i.e. the games. (If they could shut us
down, then clean-room Java implementations become legally suspect and a
lot of companies go out of business.) OTOH if it comes into a fight
between who has the bigger lawyers, we lose by default because we don't
have any lawyers...

Oop. I said earlier I wasn't going to foist my opinions on you, didn't
I? Damn.
