The situation is that the ROMs (of all the CPC machines) are joint
copyright between Amstrad and Locomotive (Amstrad own the "firmware"
copyright and we own the "BASIC" copyright - so about half the ROMs
each). That is why both our names appear on the start-up screen ! so
there will be no doubt !!

Of course we wrote it all, but Amstrad bought some copyright off us so
that we could not sell it all to some third party to make competing
machines.

Anyway ...  we are happy to give you permission to distribute our
copyright material with your emulator program without charge provided

       ** that you mention in the documentation which goes
          with the emulator that it remains our copyright, you
          just have permission to distribute it

   and ** provided that you continue to offer your program under
          substantially its current terms. In particular without
          asking for any money for using it.

this along with Amstrad's permission will I think allow you to
distribute the ROMs along with your emulator without problems.

Distribute anything you like subject to including the relevant
copyright notices. Amstrad certainly won't come after you with a big
stick and when I tried to locate someone in Novell who knew about the
ownership of CP/M I failed miserably so I think you can assume that
if they don't know they own it they aren't going to get heavy about
it.
