I was looking at a dump of the UniWar S ROMs a noticed a lot of identical code and data between it and Galaxian. I knew that UniWar S ran on Galaxian hardware but Irem clearly disassembled Galaxian and used it as a basis for UniWar S. I'm surprised that Irem who went on to produce such classics as Moon Patrol and R-Type did this without permission. Usually this sort of thing was done to make enhancement kits for existing games though there are other cases where companies used code without permission to make new games like the Piranha and Mayday (both of which got pulled due to infringement).
