Just to add #3.
3. PTSC realizes that TPL is bundling MMP+ other licenses in the same sell to customer and because TPL controls the price/sell.... they probably were inflating the value of the sole TPL licenses and the MMP was getting allocated a lower amount.
Eg. Customer pays 1 million for MMP + Core Flash. TPL tells PTSC that $500,000 is for MMP and $500,000 is for Core Flash. PDS receives the money from customer and distributes -- $250k to PTSC and $750k to TPL.
Perhaps PTSC let this slide in the beginning--- it helped bring in revenue and more MMP signings.... perhaps TPL got too greedy and began doing more and more of this type of selling... short changing PTSC.
PTSC wants better control of the pricing...and ensure that PDS is not used for any collections not assoicated with the MMP
