Is there scanned copies of a written (and if possible... signed) document from Commodore. In addition, the original Commodore corporation is defunct as you know and this doesn't mean the allowance from Commodore back in 1991-1993 is still applicable as new owners are not bound to abide by such as it is not a contractual matter. Current agreements with current owner of the IP or a signed written licensing agreement such as a royalty-based or royalty-free licensing agreement would need to be established by a prior owner where the new owner would be legally obligated.

VICE Team should always try to tread carefully with such legal matters.
