Digital Eclipse claims Drecom "owns" Wizardry software.

"A new initiative between Digital Eclipse, Wizardry’s original publisher SirTech, and current trademark owner Drecom (which publishes new Wizardry games made in Japan) untangled the web of legal permissions required to make this remaster possible."

"We had access to the Pascal source code for the original Wizardry, "

No attribution to ANYONE else. I wonder where they "had access to"?

Hi Thomas.I am concerned as well as to where they have had access to the source code. As you said you spent thousands of hour on this and I spent well over a thousand as well on the code fixes and enhancements.I have had no communications whatsoever with these people, I don’t know who they are and they have not reached out to me.Best maybe we should continue this conversation privately, I have a few extra comments I would like to share. We wrote to each other in the past year or so, I am at ***@***.***
