I'm with you wick.... Historically that sort of thing has always been their MO so would not surprise me. It has been my fear for a couple years but the developments with Honeywell seemed smart at holding things at bay.... however now seeing how GE is gobbling up whole printer companies I'm thinking they'll want everything vertically integrated (as they normally do) if they even want printrite at all. Also if you look at the fine print on the America Makes program (the overall initiative not the specific projects) there is language about IP sharing and access that is troubling. I am not saying it WILL happen, but that it could pretty easily.Still watching and waiting here- would love to be wrong!
