It sure makes more sense to add "fail-safe" to non-ARGENT forms of gene therapy.

Licensing for general clinical applications simply shifts the burden of handling all these "unclear" issues from Ariad to the partner; so I still think is worthwhile to spend some time thinking about this.

As for benchtop applications, sure. For an example of this see the recent PR from CEGE on letting a reagents company, Clontech?, distribute reagents for lab use. quicken.com

Would love to see (a bunch of) deals like that from Ariad. Potential may be quite a bit larger than the CEGE technology, as we have discussed here. An interesting one for the "bundling" may be gene-activation of endogenous promoters a la TKTX. But I really do not know the competitive landscape here, so this is hand waving.
