Big deal. We're only rewriting the engine.

Good for us, however we're not repackaging the game media.

Microsoft can go screw themselves. We're not using their code.

So as you can see, your questions are irrelevant to the matter at hand. We're writing a new engine; it will not include any of the original game media.
