I'd like to point out, however, that Pace sub-license RISC OS. As far as I am aware at present, RISCOS Ltd do not distribute the code in question, and neither does Pace Microtechnology Ltd.
It has come to my attention that some people are trying to implicate the above companies in this.
I would strongly suggest people do not start to make (unfounded) claims against neither RISCOS Ltd nor Pace Microtechnology Ltd unless they have proof, in which case such proof should first contact the appropriate copyright holders concerned.
