You probably have read the recent story about a company which was accused of stealing flOw and developing it for the iPhone as a new game. Well the controversy is over now. The Devalopers have updated everything giving credit to flOw and Jenova Chen, the original creator for flOw.

thatgamecompany co-founder Jenova Chen recently released the source code for his surreal PlayStation Network and PSP release, flOw, to encourage Flash development. He didn't expect someone would note-for-note reproduce flOw with the code and pretend its their own. This happened with Aquatica.

On the official website, Aquatica developer Ketara Software didn't bother to even mention flOw. Now, it does. When I contacted the developer, Ketara founder Oleg Samus was immediately apologetic, acknowledging Aquatica was very much influenced by Chen's creation.
