Latest email about my little deceased app
Yes, my surname is that long
I Emailed then and asked who owned the licence for the PPC.

I am sorry to inform you that you may not offer the game to our licensees or anyone else.

This bit really made me laugh:
They didn't even tell me who owns the licence

Either way, we have already developed a game which we will use.
We wish you succes in any further game you may develop (as long as it does not infringe upon Endemol's rights).
Kind regards,

Mmmm, that sort of puts me in nowhere land
I may as well go out and steal/joyride cars every night.
It might be good fun. I can't write a game clone without getting sued
Erel/etc .dll providers, I love B4PPC. Keep up the good work.
Just for the laugh, here's a reply from a microsoft newsgroup.

I think you're smart not trying to sell/give it away right now, given the IP
stuff. I do think it's cool that non professional programmers like you are
developing for our platform and would like to see more apps out
there since that brings more users to WM devices, which brings more devs,
more users, etc...
My only advice is if you ever want to sell it in the US to get a picture of
Howie Mandell rather than that "random British person" and figure out how to
get your keyboard to spit out a "$"  .
Good luck with the app.
