Last time I checked (which might well be 10 years ago or so), I think there was some sort of agreement between the OpenTTD devs and Chris Sawyer that he wouldn't sue them for OpenTTD if they won't ever touch Locomotion (I think there was an early-stage POC of Locomotion that some of the devs did that triggered this) Has the situation changed? Or are they just bold enough to do it anyway because they think that Chris won't ever sue them anyway (or they would have an easy time of getting that case dismissed)?

Different developers entirely; The main people behind OpenLoco are the same as behind OpenRCT2; There's almost no crossover with OpenTTD. Also we've never heard of this agreement.

  Here is an example of someone mentioning that: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3748206&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=4#post452667277 https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=37... > Too bad Sawyer (or Atari?) wouldn't let fans modify Locomotion like Transport Tycoon Deluxe I can't find the original discussion (I don't even remember which forum it was on) but maybe "agreement" was a bit of a misnomer. I think people deliberately wanted to stay clear of Locomotion because they were scared that it would put OpenTTD on the radar or something...
