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) Status of rights
Ownership
Take-Two Interactive IP rights, publishing Current
Distribution
Feral Interactive Mac distribution (outside North America) Current; still selling Oni on their website
Gathering of Developers PC distribution GoD was bought by Take-Two; Oni is not on Take-Two's online store*
MacSoft Mac distribution (North America) Unknown; not selling Oni on their website*

Bungie Software Original version (Windows & Mac (Carbon)) Bungie gave Take-Two the IP rights but may still have some ownership over the source
Feral Interactive (none) Right to develop Mac OS X (Cocoa) port (Intel)
The Omni Group Mac OS X (Cocoa) port (PPC) Likely still have right to maintain source

Most sources give GoD as the Windows distributor, but the box itself has the Rockstar logo on it.
