We're not talking about changes to the Transport Tycoon Deluxe
equivalent of MAP files.
We're talking about something more like the Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc.
v. Nintendo of Am., Inc. case.
We're not talking a sequel here, we're talking about ephemeral

OpenTTD is not distributing art which merges with the original
copyrighted work. Microstar was distributing arg with merged
with the original copyrighted work.

I refuse to believe that personal attacks have any redeeming
