Discworld source...
Who was it you were contacting about the discworld source code?
Please for the love of god, get whoever it is to hand over the source code. I am not a ScummVM dev and I don't know what legal problems there are but it's been announced for months and months at hand that everything was fine and everybody waited for the source to arrive.
If you could make this happen you'd be one of my personal people of the year.
EDIT: Please note the extreme amount of adrenalin infused to write this post. I usually don't write that way =)

We know several people who have access to the source, that's not the problem. The problem is obtaining legal permission. You may not care about the legal issues and/or the law -- we *do*, however.
Also we never announced anything anywhere. We said that we are talking to certain people and that we hope to get the source, but we never made any promises nor announcements. So, for the love of god, relax, play some other games, and *maybe* if we all are very lucky, one of these days the remaining issues get settled and we can proceed with this. Insisting, shouting, yelling or pleading on your knees, however, will do nothing to accelerate the process; it only is annoying, that's all .

The wiki says: "The rights situation has been resolved, and Terry Pratchett and his agent Colin Smythe have approved the source release and future freeware re-issuing of the game. We are currently awaiting receipt of the engine source code."You may not care about the legal issues and/or the law -- we *do*, however.

(That statements has been there for at least a year).
So the problem is the permission from Psygnosis?
As you can tell I am really excited about this, please forgive me my boyish love for clumsy sorcerers and walking treasure chests.
