tfishell: I can send them some emails if you want. EDIT: Sorry, could you clarify what Ant Software has to do with this?
SCPM: Ant Software has the rights to Shadows of Cairn. The dev says he's not really interested in doing anything with the game anymore. I figure he could write a freeware license and put the game's files up somewhere and make it officially freeware.
Ah, okay, so Ant Software has Shadows of Cairn rights, and PolyEx made Vigilance on Talos V and isn't really interested in it anymore (apparently), so you want me to suggest they make the games freeware, and suggest a freeware release on GOG, perhaps?
