I'm pretty sure it expires after more than 60 years after author's death. That's heck a lot of time, maybe our grandchildren will take the copyright and make a Jazz Jackrabbit game.

Although, that is what I thought before the 20th anniversary of the first game last year, so it might still be a while off. :L

I have doubts about Epic not releasing JJ and JJ2 for free already. If they know that it can't make money anymore, what's the point of not releasing it? Same thing to the source. But yeah, all we can do is to wait and see what happens :l
