Also, Christy Marx and Al Lowe do not own the IP of those games. They are illegally distributing them, but Activision is either unaware or does not care. Either way, they are not freeware.
That's why I wrote "everyone considers"
Personally I don't care about Activision as long as lead designers share their games. It has nothing to do with Sierra's glorious days. And after such nonsence as Box Office Bust, I think it's everyone's responsibility to download Freddy Pharkas and buy Al a cup of coffee)
