Is there another way to look at this?

Maybe, instead of investigating the IP status and signing over the 8-bit
stuff to public domain, they would be willing to write a letter stating that
they will never seek to prosecute any non-commercial usage of any 8-bit stuff
that they own.

Would that cover emulator user against legal action? Would each person need
their own signed letter from pace?
