In the case of SGI, they may be thinking about maximizing the vaulted IP value to shareholders, but this doesn't just become free money when they license the IP use out in a partnership vertical, there are huge management costs and other issues that can render even the most seemingly "no brainer" deal into a purgatory of no returns or worse.Anyway... So you as a developer would be open to sharing a license for the exact same vertical space? What if you as an independent had to compete with the other guy that also has the license for the identical property and they choose to pursue not innovation, but a timed storefront exclusivity to push you out of the market long enough for them to gain a foothold? Who do you blame then?I could go on, but business isn't fair (like life), so as long as you under promise and over deliver to a license partner, you'll likely find yourself in a position where you have IP owners looking for you as opposed to the other way around.edit: Great post shutyertrap</blockquote>
