>>> Can someone please clear this up for me? I was told by my manager in 2019 that papers were in place for Wave Computing, after which I posted a number of submissions without any questions. I assumed that the same would be good even now. The people who dealt with the FSF paperwork back then are no longer with Wave, so I can't easily verify at my end.

I am sure RT-RK's assignment is in place, they regularly commit to FSF 
projects. The historical context for these contributors is that 
Imagination Technologies (@imgtec) spawned MIPS as a separate entity 
which was then acquired by Wave Computing. I know for sure that Wave has 
the rights to release/license this code. I can change those addresses to 
@wavecomp if that helps.

Maciej had adviced me to use the original email addresses of the 
developers as a means of retaining the historical context. Note that 
ali.lown@imgtec.com was once a valid address, whereas 
ali.lown@wavecomp.com never was, because Ali was never employed by Wave.
