That is probably not the case.  As far as I know, Tandy sold all of their software rights along with their computer manufacturing capability to AST Research in 1993.  AST was acquired by Samsung a bit later.  Any Tandy rights are now held by a Korean corporation that probably has no knowledge that the products ever existed.

Despite the orphaned and abandoned nature of the products, under current law the copyrights are in force until sometime around the middle of the century (unless Disney & friends get another extension passed, probably until the sun burns out).

These histrionics were probably unnecessary, since there was no reason to think anybody would be watching us with more than casual interest until I made my first move to follow Buchanon's trail, in London.  Still, somebody might check back this far later, and I always feel that if you're going to play a part, you might as well play it all the way, at least in public -- and it's hard to tell what's public and what isn't, these electronic days.
