Here's a question:  If the PD (or Sharware - whatever) game was
written for that platform _first_, then couldn't the author of that
sue a company such as Spectrum Holobyte for infringing on the "look
and feel" of that person's product?

This does, of course, depend upon whether or not the PD version
contains the (C) notice in it's docs (or wherever).
