That would be allowable for a clean-room implementation, but OpenMW is not. So while OpenMW is protected from any copyright claim, it would not be protected from any patent claims.
- rocky1138 10y agoCan you describe how OpenMW is not a cleanroom implementation? I couldn't find anything on it on the website.
- ascagnel_ 10y agoI read through the emails, and I believe I'm mistaken: nothing is specified on whether or not OpenMW is a cleanroom implementation. My point stands, though. If Bethesda can show that OpenMW was in any way borne from reverse-engineering their engine code, and that their code was patented, then they would have an IP claim against OpenMW.
