I surely don't know the entire story behind this news but I do know that FS
and others certainly have to pay licensing fees for the products they use
from Microsoft and even the Braille translator in JAWS. This may be
something like that or it may not. Remember that the only news we have
heard is from GW Micro who, like it or not, is far behind in the screen
reading market. I don't say this to trash the product as I think it is a
good product written by smart and caring people but the facts are the facts.

In software and manufacturing, many techniques are patented.
GW micro may have to pay for some license.
