I would be very surprised to find that Lotus did not immediately commence a risk mitigation strategy of building in other engine compatability on the day the litigation was announced (or well before).

Switching engines is not as big a wrench as you might think, just inconvenient and something everyone would rather not have to do.

Lets face it, Lotus knows as well as anybody else, that VRTY is headed for acquisition. If IBM is not the buyer then they would probably have to switch engines anyway. Any Program Manager who did not have engine switch down as a risk mitigation would be insane unless he knew he was going to buying the company.
