I'm not sure they'd even ask us to do that. By the time the license expires
the PSX2 will be out in Japan and the original Playstation/Yaroze will have
ZX Spectrum status in the gaming world :). No one will be using the original
libraries commercially anymore by then.

I can't see what Sony would have to lose by letting people continue to
develop for the Yaroze for as long as they want to.
