But what about the game itself? It's not just the name of the file
and functions, but the Tetris game itself is "subject to the
registered copyrights of Tetris Holding LLC" (according to
http://www.tetris.com/).
My understanding is that game rules as such are not copyrightable.
Incidentally, I just tried running M-x tetris RET. After playing 2
games, a buffer appeared called 'tetris-scores' showing 3 scores:
03037 Sat Jan 27 13:48:27 2007 <x@SERVER>
03031 Sat Jan 27 13:48:27 2007 <x@SERVER>
00349 Sat Jan 27 13:34:52 2007 <x@SERVER>
Can you debug this?
