The problem is copyright won't expire on the 1995 game until some time next century, while a French company that acquired Atari's name and copyrights 20 years ago is now asserting their exclusive rights over the IP.

Does OpenTTD contain any Atari IP? I thought it was completely re-written, and did not include any of the original game assets?

I don't think so but simply asserting their rights is complicated and expensive.
