I cannot translate this good but short:Stunts heute
Obwohl das Spiel nunmehr mehr als zwanzig Jahre alt
ist, erfreut es sich immer noch weltweiter Beliebtheit.
Nachdem bereits Ende der 1990er das Spiel als
Abandonware bzw. von den Entwicklerfirmen selbst als
Freeware deklariert wurde, entdeckten viele Menschen
das Spiel neu.
from the Developers itself as Freeware released.von den Entwicklerfirmen selbst als
Freeware deklariert wurde
There is no source for that on the wikipedia page, and while the developers may "declare" it freeware it does not automatically mean it really is.von den Entwicklerfirmen selbst als
Freeware deklariert wurde
it is freewrae confirmed by Broderbund, but also the source code is lost, and so unavailable, confirmed by Kevin Pickell, lead programmer.
KHR telephoned with DSI! And they said, yep, it's freeware, we don't care about Stunts anymore.
Talk dirty to me..And that's because commander-beef is being an idiot.
SourceKHR phoned the companies some years ago and they told us, that Stunts is free now. They did not want to publish the code (as Zak already wrote, it seems to be lost now).
Of course (which company would do this) no one gave us something written, we simply trust the words.
While this is certainly "fishy", and I think it would be better if it was just removed, I'm not really convinced that keeping it will be much of a problem - we still have copyrighted Dune 2 gfx and sfx in the repo, and no one cares. So I recommend asking ED, he is the one who would be held accounted for.As I pointed out earlier you're taking some guys word against an official word which we probably will probably never happen because the company was sold to EA (of all people). So technically the rights for Stunts lies with EA hence the source being "lost" and i've never seen anything released free from EA.
The whole thing looks... Fishy
we have a lot of unsolved copyright issues with graphics and music like:While this is certainly "fishy", and I think it would be better if it was just removed, I'm not really convinced that keeping it will be much of a problem - we still have copyrighted Dune 2 gfx and sfx in the repo, and no one cares.

Just for the sake of beiing a "Mister know it all": EA did release games as freeware in the past, various C&C titles for example.
From the EA point of view, Stunt is still copyrighted games they dont sell anymore.They never made it freeware. Only a random guy on the NET.Can EA cancel the Freeware State then?
