When it’s a complete rewrite anyway, just don’t admit to use an illegal source code leak. I don’t get why anybody would do that so openly. Just lie about it and claim it’s a clean room implementation. That way if anyone ever were to prosecute this, they would first have to provide evidence that it’s not clean room…

Interesting read. I prefer C over any other language for game development. It’s cool to see people work with it and realize it’s still viable.
