The following two statements are NOT contradictory: 1) The Liquidmetal name isn't owned by Apple nor exclusively licensed to Apple. 2) Under the Master Transaction Agreement between Apple and LQMT, Apple has a perpetual license to the use of "liquidmetal" in products containing LQMT's BMG.
The two statements would be contradictory if I had said that "Apple has perpetual and exclusive license to the use of "liquidmetal" in products containing LQMT's BMG", but I didn't say that.
If you feel that I've contradicted myself, please explain.
Seeing as how you apparently SAY WHAT YOU MEAN. MEAN WHAT YOU SAY.
