To me this is were the X Factor (Charles Moore) comes in. We've all questioned whether some of the moves are being made for long term strategic reasons. Was the J3 settlement and the apparent low Asustek license, done for reasons only known by TPL and Patriot? If that's the case, why would Moore air his dirty laundry? If he knew it was a matter of waiting until all was revealed, why such a dramatic move on his part? I know he isn't involved directly with licensing negotations but, TPL would never have allowed the "issue" to reach that point if it was simply a matter of informing Moore on why things are being done in such a manner. You don't jump into shark infested waters for no reason. It only adds to the mystery that is Alliacense, IMO.
