A few month later I got an email from the company's legal department. They asked me to sign an amendment to the Impact Software license agreement with three additional terms. I assume they wanted to publish a game they made with Impact.

Personne ne sera surpris d’apprendre que la science-fiction a la cote auprès des adolescents. Pourquoi n’était-elle donc pas plus utilisée en classe pour motiver les jeunes élèves à l’enseignement des sciences – ou même (re)dorer le blason du scientifique, s’est questionnée une équipe de chercheurs espagnols.
