Publisher also has a choice of getting involved in the interests of protecting, or not, other softwares copyrights through DRM.
You are absolutely correct, no one should take advantage of other peoples work.

But it is also true that FT has always had their own interface, which is totally their own.. or more correctly, no ones own, GPL licensed in other words. It just wasn't used by any games.

This of course doesn't mean that the usage of NP's interface was the right thing to do (in the past when no game utilized FT's interface).

Encryption of NP's interface now makes it impossible for the FT to utilize it, so if a new game can be played with FT, it is all their own merit, not NP's.
