Though having an option for running an emulation of other Pioneers not covered by Free42 would be a nice extra.

As I remember, Chris Gießelink licenced the emulator itself as GPL, but the emulator still requires a valid ROM from a suitable HP to work. That ROM isn't (obviously) licenced as anything else but commercial. As such, SwissMicros (I'm surmising here) would still have to approach HP for the rights to either the ROM, or something along those lines. IANAL so these comments should obviously be taken at the value they have.
