[DML] Back to the Future Time Machine Royalties

["gpiltz" <gpiltz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey All,

I recently watched the great BBC Documentary about the development of 
our favorite piece of automotive history, and the amazing man behind 
it, and was truly amazed at what strongly apposing views exist about 
the car.  It especially touched me how highly the Irish factory 
employees continue to speak of our 'knight in stainless steel 
armor.'  Does a DMC fan good.  Check it out.

Anyway, the documentary got me thinking...

At the time that Bob Z. and Bob G. were developing the first Back to 
the Future film, from whom did they need to get clearance, or pay 
royalties, in order to use the DeLorean as a time machine.  The 
company was basically gone, save for the few dedicated workers who 
continued to build cars because it was a passion.  Perhaps the 
holdings company?  What about Parts 2 & 3 of the trilogy?

Thanks for any feedback you can offer.
