Based on disassembly of the PC DOS version, this port runs on PC, Mac and Linux and features many enhancements such as quick saving and the ability to mod the game including level design.

Once upon a time, you had to show an actual financial loss, to make a claim for damages. At least where I live (Denmark).

Maybe they've made copyright offense serious enough to not require that anymore. But without financial damages I would hope a copyright case would be frivolous. Apart from being a form of treason in the eyes of many lawmakers. Except when it's Trump, then it's just an honest mistake.
