You're entertaining at times. But frustrating. I'm not sure how best to proceed on your vocabulary lesson. Of course "exclusive" means "only". "License" means "permission". "Possession" means to hold or have. "Steal" means to convert the property of another to one's own use. "A license to develop" is a permission to use something to develop it.

Tmm came in to possession of the code when Iterated provided it to a confused and likely faithless agent who agreed to put the license in to a company other than Tmm. That's dumb and possibly worse as was Tmm paying to acquire DFI. I'm hardly apologizing for that chiefly or otherwise.
