There is a copyright on look and feel.  However, I don't think Eye of
the Beholder will have a problem with that.  It's similar to Dungeon
Master, and does seem to have taken some inspiration from it, but if
you really want to get picky about the user interfaces, wizardry I is
the first game I remember to have a 3-d type interface.  The graphics
weren't nearly as good as those of DM, CSB and EOB, but the idea was
there....
