This is a list of all known companies involved with owning, distributing, or developing Oni. Some of these rights may have lapsed since the time period of Oni's release (Jan. 2001), so in one column we list the rights as of that time, then, to the best of our knowledge, we give the current status of those rights.

Company Rights (then) Rights (now)
Ownership
Take-Two Interactive IP rights, publishing Current
Distribution
Feral Interactive Mac version (outside North America) Current; Oni was sold on their website until July 2011*
Gathering of Developers Windows version Should be current, although Oni is not on Take-Two's online store*
MacSoft Mac version (North America) Unknown; not selling Oni on their website*
Take-Two Interactive PlayStation 2 version Current; PS2 version still being sold on website
Developers
Bungie Software Former IP holder Probably none after June 2000
Feral Interactive Originally, no development rights were declared; Feral simply distributed Oni Maintaining Mac OS X port
The Omni Group Maintaining Mac OS X port Likely still have right to maintain source
Rockstar Games PlayStation 2 port Rockstar was bought by Take-Two

*Second-hand copies can be found on sites such as Amazon and eBay.
GoD was simply a subsidiary of T2. Most sources give GoD as the Windows distributor, but the box itself seems to have the Rockstar logo on it.
