Message-ID: <E1HB4fI-00062H-Vg@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m2hcuczkn9.fsf@gmail.com> (message from Chris Moore on Sat, 27 Jan 2007 14:03:54 +0100)

    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?
