Hasbro drops law suit over Scrabulous!

I had posted previously, about WordScraper as the "Second Life" of Scrabulous.

For those who followed Scrabulous, remember this message?

"Scrabulous is disabled for U.S. and Canadian users until further notice. If you would like to stay informed about developments in this matter, please click here."

The lawsuit was in July against the Agarwalla brothers, who developed Scrabulous and put it on Facebook Platform. Several changes were made since the lawsuit started, to distinguish itself from looking too alike to Hasbro’s Scrabble game.

According to a report by Associate Press

“RJ Softwares, the Agarwalla brothers' company, said in a statement that it has agreed not to use the term "Scrabulous" and made changes to different versions of the game it created after the lawsuit was filed.

The changes to the Wordscrapper application found on online networking site Facebook and games at Lexulous.com help distinguish them from Scrabble, RJ Softwares said.“

Guess this is great news to lovers of this game!
