I thought that ADB (i.e., Stephen Cole) owned the rights to SFB, and TFG
had 
an exclusive contract to print the stuff.  Of course, Cole has retired
from 
actually running it (with the "Dayton Design Bureau" taking over), so
maybe he 
decided to sell the game, or Task Force decided to sell the publishing
rights.
