Pravda, first Edig gets the cash, then you get the cash. Short of making licensing deals, and/or investing in widget development, production, sales, and marketing, they could always distribute cash to shareholders.
Do you really think that Edig is going to go for all one-time settlements and no licensing? Maybe Robert said that but in my opinion it was counterintelligence, knowing it would leak. Edig is going to get ongoing revenue streams out of this guaranteed.
