Well, no doubt you are right. However, I thought we were discussing the
legality of posting or making available the code in question. While it would,
according to you, be illegal to _use_ the code, I doubt that it would be
illegal to post a patch for the 65Host code, given that it would be a very
small part of the original work (i.e. the BBC micro's OS1.2 and BASIC ROMs).
Since the use of all these emulators appears to be illegal anyway, we may as
well scrap this mailing list and give up, according to you.
I await Acorn's decision with interest.
