Well, I'll do as TGC ask and email the following:
Further to numerous emails to The Games Creators, over the period of around 1 year, I have been asked by the TGC to email you personally.
With regard to the BlitzTree and BlitzGrass products that The Games Creators acquired from Aliencodec. It seems likely that TGC have realised they have no use (current or intended) for BlitzGrass or BlitzTree.
If TGC have no use (current or future) or financial interest (current or future) for BlitzGrass and/or BlitzTree, can these products be made publically available?
If TGC are not willing/able to make the products available either as freeware or to distribute them as per TreeMagik and PlantLife from the TGC site, is TGC willing to negotiate a monetary transfer of ownership/licence to another party?
Assuming no way forward, What will TGC's stance be if we start distributing these products as freeware?
Ideally, I'd like to bring this matter to some kind of conclusion.
Neither Aliencodec or TGC are mentioned in the licence (version 1.0.4 and including 1.42 - final version as far as I am aware). I have no idea what is mentioned in the BlitzGrass licence.
This is the content of the original licence:
