Usually somebody is sat on the rights and if there's some way of getting some money for nothing they'll do it, like that MD reprint of Grey Lancer. Licensing could be troublesome for some games though, especially as it gets newer and you get into things like CD audio. You can end up with stuff stuck in limbo for years, happens with films and music (but not as often nowadays).
Just frustrates me that we have the technology to easily do it, especially in the case of the CD/DVD based games, but we don't. The demand is definitely there for it, based on folks knowingly buying the (often quite shoddy) repro games on places like Aliexpress.
