Comments on: Emulation Gotchas The original Spectrum ROM was among the assets Amstrad acquired when they bought Sinclair's computer business, so it's also covered by Amstrad's generous (but not quite OSS-compatible, as it forbids commercial distribution and use in hardware) statement of permission.

About the copyright status of the ROM, I’m happy to report that it’s recently been made available under the GPL – the guys behind the OpenSE BASIC project (an unencumbered replacement for the ZX Spectrum ROM) got in touch with Nine Tiles, the original developers, and secured permission for a GPL release. (It’s on their download page under ‘open81′.)
