"IMO, TPL would not have pulled these scams, if they thought they could be shut out of the picture. TPL obviously knew, CM would not take the loss of $15 to $25 million or more with punitive damages, without a fight. The same applies to PTSC, so why did they do it??????"

Sometimes it is a simple matter of it just being the nature of the beast.

P.S. Since Chuck Moore got hosed out of 40 mil already from TPL I don't see him allowing licensing. He may be alright with us getting our share but then why would TPL go through with the effort.
