The first thing that crossed my mind is that they might try to cancel OpenTTD. Chris Sawyer reportedly wasn't too happy about OpenTTD but didn't too much against it, maybe recognising that it is a fan tribute. Nobody can expect that of Ataris's corporate lawyers.
This comment makes me sad because you are probably right. Mashinky it is!
It's not like they can do anything about it. OpenTTD does not even use any of the original assets anymore.
The code might still be a derivative work.
