Here is the relevant message.  It doesn't really say what happens to the other AD&D licenses.

That's a bit sad. I heard that "Fallout 3" was in development.

 

I wonder if they'll make any Infinity Engine applications public now..... doubt it.

There has been an open source Infinity Engine project in development for a while, though it seemed to stall for a while. Imagine an IE without hardcoded limitations.

Yummy. Shows how much I know, though.

Wow, thats shocking. Judging from the success of all of BIS's titles I'd thought they were in good condition. I thought the same way about Looking Glass Studios after the release of its last title "Thief II" too, but they folded as well.

 

Ah well.
