This is not hypothetical.  Tone Engle (sp?) released a Mac version
of RISK about a year ago (actually someone else posted it, he got a little
miffed, but then decided to let it go).

Does this mean he in deep trouble?  At the time he said he approached
Parker Brothers with the intent of letting them market it, and they
were not interested.

...  for what it is worth.
