Wakefield, 19 May 2007

Castle Technology Ltd (Castle) and RISC OS Open Ltd (ROOL) are pleased to announce that they are now in a position to begin the release of RISC OS source code. This follows a previous announcement between the parties declaring their intention to make RISC OS sources available to as wider audience as possible. Since that announcement Castle and ROOL have been working to put into place the necessary source management infrastructure and accompanying licence agreement to enable the controlled release of the sources.

We at ROOL are planning to start selling mouse mats to help raise funds to contribute towards our work on the Shared Source RISC OS project. We are planning on having a “map of the RISC OS community” as the mouse mat design. All of the profits that we make from selling the mouse mats and from donations are put towards administration of the Shared Source RISC OS project. The project is reaching a new phase now so all contributions are very welcome!
