Missing Kelp Seeds", published in Germany under the name "Fritzi Fisch
und der verschwundene Schatz"; "Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's
Dark Outside", published in Germany under the name "Pyjama Pit: Keine
Angst im Dunkeln"; and "Spy Fox: Dry Cereal", published in Germany under
the name "Spy Fox in: Das Milchkartell") made use of ScummVM, without
complying with the terms of the GPL license. They sent a warning letter
to the German distributor of these games, Atari Deutschland GmbH, who
was not aware that ScummVM was used in the creation of the games. Atari
Deutschland GmbH established contact with Mistic Software Inc., the
developers of the games.
Mistic Software Inc. responded by denying that members of the
ScummVM team hold any rights to the particular code they used. The
dispute was ultimately settled in May 2009 by Mistic Software Inc.
paying all legal fees and making a donation to the Free Software

Now browsing screenshots has a new sleek design, navigation links are
more logical (with keeping the backwards compatibility, so don't worry about
your old links), SCUMM MD5 tables have better design, and the FAQ lost its

Also we are proud to announce that Fredrik has been appointed
official webmaster for the project, so now you can put all your complaints
into his capable hands. :P [Less]
