  • In other cases, some parts of the game are available that are not copyrighted. An example of this is Devilution, where the code that runs the original Diablo is available on github. They get around the copyright issues by not distributing the parts of the game that are actually copyrighted, e.g. the assets. This means that it is totally ok legally.
