	Sorry if this is in the "wrong" newsgroup, but I couldn't find alt.free.
legal.advice :). I'm in the middle of writing a fairly simple game which is 
basically a takeoff of the reasonably well-known "CrystalQuest" game for the 
Mac. If I release a (very) similar game for the IBM am I violating the 
copyright on the original game? I haven't hacked/used any source code from 
the original (in fact, I don't have the original and am just going on memory
of what the game had), but what with the new spate of lawsuits on the "look
and feel" of programs (ie Lotus vs just about everybody in the US at present)
I'm not sure if this is enough to be legally safe.
	Anyway: can I sell the game? Release it shareware? public domain? Can I 
call it "CrystalQuest"? Any and all help on these and any other legal matters
I've forgotten are welcome.
