But this, strictly speaking, doesn't apply to emulators on other platforms,
as using !65Host on an Acorn RISC OS platform is legal. Using it (for any
purpose) on another platorm is, I think, illegal. Don'tcha just love
copyright laws?!

This is rapidly turning into a very convoluted thread, so may I suggest that
a list of questions is proposed, so that I can just throw that list at
the person responsible for licensing.

I'll start it under another thread...
