um actually the developer has the distributing rights as well as remake/port rights. publisher can also reproduce the work but cannot port it or create any derivative work. I am actually studying video game design and we have just covered this in class. Some proof is that FFI and FFII are released on PSP when they were previously on a Nintendo owned product. I doubt that Square will port 7 or 8 to the DS but you never know.
