To clarify something in regards to our abilility to 'resell' our patent license. We have the ability to let our business partners redistribute our plugin with their products. So anyone who signs a contract with us can freely redistribute our plugin with their own products. The 'reselling' part you are mentioning is that we of course can't give everyone the same right we have, meaning that people could sign a contract with us, then have other people sign contracts with them and so on. Everyone have to either sign a contract with us to distribute our plugin, or get a contract with Thomson/Fruenhoffer to distribute their own plugin (which they could build from the source we provide).
