'''RISC OS''' is a computer operating system designed in Cambridge, England by Acorn. First released in 1987, its origins can be traced back to the original team that developed the '''[http://www.arm.com/ ARM]''' microprocessor. RISC OS is owned by [https://www.riscosdev.com/ RISC OS Developments (ROD)], following their recent acquisition of the RISC OS intellectual property through the purchase of Castle Technology Ltd.

[http://www.riscosopen.org/ RISC OS Open Limited] (ROOL) is an organisation run on a largely voluntary basis. It is managing the process of publishing the source code to RISC OS (Apache 2.0 license).
