As for the legaility/ethicity (?) of this I'm uncertain.
Well, the code is MPL (aka Mozilla Public License), so as long as you release your modifications, you should be fine - modifications which, as you're going from one language to another, would be quite substantial of course (including replacing the used third-party libraries with Java equivalents, if those exist), but it's been done before; see
iText vs.
iTextSharp, the latter of which I've used quite a bit...
IIRC the foundation graphics can't be used (unless the Powers That Be CaravelGames(TM) give you permission to do so), but you could always use the DROD:AE graphics or one of the modded styles (again, if you get permission).
Another problem could be calling the whole ported shebang DROD (cue the Mozilla Firefox vs. Debian Iceweasel brouhaha) but what's in a name anyway?
(Of course, that's my airheaded view of how things are and as such could be totally wrong, save for the "
the code is MPL"
part...
)
np: Underworld - Cups (Salt City Orchestra's Vertical Bacon Vocal) (Bruce Lee)
