Awhile back I posted a version of the game Ogre that had been
submitted to comp.sources.games.  After doing so I received mail
saying that Ogre was a copyrighted game (written|distributed) by
Michael Jackson Games (or similar name; I'll have to dig through
my old mail).  There was also some discussion on the net that
it was in fact OK for somewon to derive a computer game from a
board game without infinging copyright, etc.

Well, I have ready to go an improved version of Ogre that has
been submitted for posting.  Before I do or don't post it, I
wanted to get the consensus of the net on whether it is legal
to do so.
