Not saying you are making that up, so the person you spoke with at Amorphology either doesn't know what he's talking about or was - for reasons unknown to me - giving you the wrong information. The Caltech IP is exclusively licensed to LQMT. Not trying to be enigmatic.
Contact LQMT and ask them about Amorphology. Please report back to us with the info they provide.
