Yeah, even if they were to reuse the same engine I'd assume they would do things like increasing the resolution and animation frame counts and stuff like that, and that's probably sufficient to take it out of the "graphically primitive" area.
Of course, they'd be more likely to make a new engine, I think.

I realize P6014 has already done it.

But your logic is flawed dude. You're like a guy on the Xbox-live forums telling everyone that Half-Life can't be remade on their playstation network because Microprose still owns the rights to Wii controllers. And then when people tell you it doesn't work like that you just handwave, tell us you're in the game business and that you know what you're doing and why is eveone being so picky. It's not 1+1= 2 it's x^3+5-bz = sin(3). You're making incorrect arguments because of a flawed fact base, and without correct facts you rest your logical conclusion on faulty premises. Or logically, you're doing hexadecimal mathematics on a binary system.
I fail to see how my advice is flawed. Perhaps some of the facts on the history of star control were wrong, but what I had been saying wasn't illogical, and I did not base my advice directly off of the history of the game, I based advice off of what I experience I have doing the same thing. That experience also wasn't coming just from me, but from other people whom I have also worked with. In their own troubles, they also had to figure out solutions to the same problems, and I tried passing on what had been learned.
There likely are legal issues that need to be solved project 6014 be fully published, but then again, it's possible it doesn't need to be...

Your advice is flawed because it's based on the false conviction that your arbitrary "logic" is a viable substitute of actual information that is needed to make a sane point regarding the legal issues behind any Star Control related product.
Project 6014, when completed, will be released according to the combined terms of GPL (code) and CC-BY-NC-SA (content). It seems both grant us the ability to produce derivative works but doesn't allow us to make profit out of it, which never -- as far as I know -- was our intention.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

There is no CC license where it says 'if the author says so' because you could always do that even if the work was 'all rights reserved'.
It's not for nothing that major corporations use restrictive terms rather than CC licenses!

No no no no, that only works if the author uploads it and slaps the CC label on it. If you upload it and try to slap the CC label on it, that's not allowed.
