Hi,

I noticed some days ago that dotemu.com claims to sell 100% legal classic games running on modern windows systems. Because they said before, that they developed the perfect emulation platform i tried 3 of their free products ("Beneath a Steel Sky", "Drascula" and "Abuse") and noticed that the first two uses ScummVM and the third one DosBOX.

I am missing the information where I can download/request their modified source code and Abuse seems to miss the LICENSE/COPYRIGHT file at all

yeah we know. We have contacted them about it already (together with the scummvm). They told us that they would fix it ASAP

I redownload the installer and now the installation of abuse shows the license and the source code is shipped with the installer. So everything resolved.
