"why would Irwin Jacobs himself acknowledge [edit: Hedy Lamar's] invention as a forerunner of CDMA?

I think the term "forerunner" is an accurate assessment -- but saying "incorporate the method first proposed by Heddy Lamar" and "that original patent [...] which really describes CDMA conceptually" is not.

Besides, mentioning Hedy Lamar helps get the attention of one's listeners. :-)
