I would like to package http://roadfighter.jorito.net/ in OBS. The
thing is the authors are not lawyers (
http://www.braingames.getput.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=678&PN=1 ).
So, correct me:
- If they have not extracted the media (graphics, sounds, music) from
the original game, but have recreated them, Konami hasn't any
copyright on them (specially since there isn't anything specific like
a Mario or Sonic sprite, they are just "cars").
- They can put a disclaimer at the start of the game noting that the
game is a remake of a previous Konami game. But they can't put Konami
logos (not sure if them are the official Konami logos) since "Konami"
probably is a trademark.
So, if they put a LICENSE file stating they release the game like GPL,
and they remove Konami logos I can host the package on the OBS without
problems?
About Konami logos. Is this one a problem:

It's at the start, like a tribute to Konami.
