Is the technology, or patents Foveon is applying for so revolutionary and wide reaching that someone won't back engineer what they've done, come up with a slightly different, slightly less quality, much cheaper method, and move into the more mainstream camera market ahead of Foveon? It looks like if Foveon doesn't get some licensing deals in place with major camera companies from the outset, that these companies will just develope their own system or buy whatever upstart company developes one and then use their establshed place in the camera marketplace to squeeze Foveon out. In other words it looks like if they don't go after at least the middle of the market, maybe the bottom as well, right from the start, then all they'll likely be left with is the upper end, and then they'll be squeezed from it as well.
