I’ve had email with the original author (John Williams), and he’s said he’s happy for them to be handed over. I’ve emailed CHORNY, who currently has ownership, to see if he’s happy for me to give you ownership of all of them. Please bear with me a day or so while we try and cross all the t’s and dot the i’s. Cheers, Neil
