The difficulty comes if the rights holder wants to sue for "an
appropriate fee" for past use of his work. We may be well within our
right to use the work (having put in a good faith effort to obtain
permission), but proving that in court costs money. The same applies
to the computer games that we've made available, but it's a calculated
risk we've taken because it seems that there is no clear rights holder
in that case.
It looks to me like we will be publishing Voyage of the Moonstone sans
illustrations, at least in the immediate future.
