[Scummvm-devel] Java port of SCUMM

[James 'Ender' Brown]

I suppose I should put a semi-official response from the ScummVM team
here, after all.

ScummVM is GPLed, so as long as the license is obeyed, you can of course
do whatever you want with it. I would ask that you make sure there is a
clear distinction between your Java rewrite and the REAL program.

As for the project, it sounds... intresting.

I personally think it is an incredibly silly and pointless idea, and the
large majority of the channel thinks you are insane - but if it makes
you happy, go ahead :)
