Guest rudyanto Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I'm wondering whether there's an implementation of the MS xbox game hexic for linux? I stumbled upon Hexic after reading an article about Alexey Pajitnov somewhere, where he talked about pentominoes as inspiration for the ever-popular tetris game he conceived. The wikipedia entry on Tetris cited some kind of legal tussle over IP of Tetris, but ended with this note: According to circulars available from the United States Library of Congress, a game cannot be copyrighted (only patented), which refutes much of TTC's copyright claims on the game, leaving the trademark on Tetris as TTC's most significant claim on any government-granted monopoly. If somebody wrote an implementation of hexic for linux and put it under GPL, would it violate any copyrights? *Itchy fingers* [moved from Talk-Talk by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
