As I was saying there was no clue to who owns Commodore *-Bit technology I
received this message from the CBM-Hackers maillist:

Hallo allemaal,
I just got some interesting news from my friend Wim. We both are members of the
border (???) of the Commodore GG (= User Group). As largest Commodore group
here in Holland and due to other reasons as well, we have established close
contacts with Tulip ie. Commodore.
Wim got an official letter of Tulip saying that they own all the rights of all
Commodores through out of the world with exception of the Amiga. So now we know.
Next question is if we can get permission to continue the activities we employ
like placing ROMs, sourcelistings etc. on the net. I already had an unofficial
answer ("We don't mind as long it is not commercial") but an official one
would
be better.
Groetjes, ruud
So I guess there is hope for us classic computing fans after all! :)
