+The [[http://web.archive.org/web/19990427201447/http://users.aol.com/psionorg/index.htm|Psion 2 Organiser Emulator (ORG2.EXE)]] published by Paul Robson circa 1998 came with a statement in the READ.ME file which stated about the included ROMs that "These Psion 2 Organiser ROM Images are distributed by kind permission of Psion Computers Ltd. Please do not include copies of these images on your own site. Copyright of these ROMs is retained."
+We have already asked Paul Robson who he had emailed to obtain this permission, but his email records do not date back that far. However, he verified that he had emailed someone within Psion Computers Ltd. and they did not see anything wrong with distribution but did not release them as public domain.
+Intellectual property rights of Psion Computers Ltd. these days are, we believe, in the hands of Motorola.
