Development content accidentally shipped on a DOS CD-ROM game from 1993

I'd recommend possibly sticking it on archive.org - I've seen other old software on there. Either that or reach out to lucasarts and ask if it's okay, I suppose. (As long as you get it in writing)

You'd need to contact Disney. They own the IP now.

LucasArts still owns the IP, Disney is just its parent company now. LucasArts is the licensor, so I'd still recommend contacting them.

IIRC, Disney shut down the game division when they acquired LucasFilm, so you would have to talk to someone at the parent co (Disney). Disney has a lot of old IP that's still very valuable, so they guard it aggressively[1].

It is Disney today. They own and decide.

Technically, neither Disney or LucasArts own DeluxePaint.

Who owns it?

Edit: Looks like EA owns it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluxe_Paint#Legacy

I thought LucasArts still owned the IP, but Disney owned LucasArts?

For Deluxe Paint you will probably have to ask Electronic Arts.

Aye, that's actually my next step. :) (Archive.org, that is.)

I went through all the links, clicking on them and asking archive.org to save a copy. I also did it with the "Download", "Raw", and "Download ZIP" links.

Disc image and photo if possible - they're librarians, remember.

The disc is deeply worn, so a full ISO is probably not going to happen -- though I'll try a bunch of stuff. Maybe I'll get lucky!
