Actually, I've heard rumors and caught hints that LucasArts and some of its previous devs have helped out quite a bit with scummvm under the table (although I am not asserting these rumors to be true). I do appreciate this, but what we (the Linux/open-source community) NEED is for LucasArts to support Linux, or to at least donate some source so that we can do so, on their NEW pc game releases. It's great to play the old ones, and it's excellent that LucasArts may be helping support them on Linux, especially since Linux was not (or barely was) even a platform when most of them were released. Yet it's really only a token gesture if they don't make any effort to help out with their new products.
