This whole licensing issue reminds me of an agreement by Xerox to give IBM a license to produce a key photocopy component - a brush that would wipe off the excess toner from the copy before it left the machine. Xerox had been using brushes made from beaver fur - very expensive and the supply was uncertain. But Xerox (this is back in the 1970's) learned how to make a synthetic brush, whereupon it gave IBM the beaver license! The source for this is the retired chief engineer who was responsible for the original Model 914 copier.
