Psion will give us the source code, that isn't the problem.
They say they have "mothballed" it and it is not accessible.
They said we could have a copy if ever they exhumed it.
I think they have forgotten where they put it.

Can Quanta not buy the source code to the Psion programs, then get a
team of programs to to update the applications to modern standards. Then
sell the new software to recover the cost of the source code purchase.

I did disasemble it a while ago, but I suspect the copyright also covers

Anyways Perfection does not read Word Files, which unfortuneatly is the
