Oh my, I think the executive staff will be please to know that MSU stated in a public document that Cube paid them 250K for Envoy development in 1997.
"...C-Cube (Envoy -- product development). Revenues from these 4 customers were $706,225, $204,440, $109,250 and $250,000..."
Starts out like:
AGREEMENT
This agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of August 18, 1997 (the "Effective Date") by and between C-Cube Microsystems Inc., a Delaware USA corporation with its principal place of business at 1778 McCarthy Blvd., Milpitas, California, 95035 ("C-Cube"), and MSU U.K. Limited, a British corporation, with offices at 526-528 Elder Gate, Central Milton Keynes, MK9 1LR, England ("MSU").
