Who owns the rights to the AC name?

Is it Sid?

Or some other entity?

I remember vaguely this being a stumbling block for the AC mod for CIV IV, but can't remember who actually owns the "rights" to the "name".

Can someone shed some light on this?

So Firaxis could not remake SMAC unless they purchased back that intellectual property?

[Maniac]

or unless ea merged with take-two, which isn't gonna happen anymore.

I guess then hoping for a Civilization IV: Alpha Centauri is probably futile then.

I am going to check out your mod though, it looks like you and your crew have done some nice work
