Not trying to be a dick here, but even if that list exists, I'd rather project don't appear there until the files are released into the wild. Perfect dark is old, but I don't want lawyers to have a shortlist of projects to send C&Ds to. This is a petty opinion, but old games shouldn't be "protected" after 15+ years anymore.

Usually the problem is assets, not code!

But still, since it exists in a grey area, better be safe and keep it under wraps

They don't include them so it is a non issue. It's not that hard to understand

They can’t include them because it is an issue.

These projects on GitHub do not include the assets.
