Some time ago M-HT statically recompiled Albion (some 15 years old DOS RPG game) for GP2X (
http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/...,0,0,0,20,2404
). I've spent some time porting his code to N900 and it runs pretty well so I'd like to make a package...
I'd like it to be as easy as possible for people to install it. Its not exactly straightforward to set it up with files from your own CD (and, for instance, my CD ceased to be readable maybe 10 years ago and I may not even have it anymore). Albion is abandonware, and downloadable from the internet. I've read the rule...
... But still I'd like to ask (if there's someone who can give me an authoritative answer here? alternatively, who am I supposed to ask?) if it could be possible to include a disclaimer in the installation process stating that if the user continues, he agrees to be an owner of the copyrighted material and that its illegal to continue otherwise. After agreeing, it would automatically download the game files and set up the installation.
Would that be possible? Since the user needs to agree to the disclaimer before getting anything copyrighted, it should be ok?
Please don't hit me
