Still fresh, damnit!
Well , Cloanto would only be giving RGL a licence, and RGL would build it. Plus that Interview was pretty specific and quotes Andrews.
Ah, it seems your minor typo in the OP led me to misread who was doing what:
And by non other than, Retro Games Ltd (Paul Andrews and co ie the team beinhd the C64 Mini)
I think I skipped over the misspelled 'none' and read 'and by other than RGL' suggesting it wasn't tied up in that whole mess for a change.
If it is, I think my interest in this has just waned.
