Problem is the deal with NG was subject to a non-disclosure agreement which means:
- actual details are hard to come by
- even when you know the details its difficult to tell what you are ALLOWED to say without getting the thread locked/post-deleted on some forums
Basic story as I understand is that NG threatened UBI with legal action over copyright trademark issues. The threatened action apparently related to both the 3D likeness and the use of the NG trademark names for ships, aircraft and vehicles in Pacific Fighters.
The matter did not go to court as NG had obtained an of injunction preventing the release of Pacific Fighters. To avoid delays UBI settled with NG and then billed Oleg for the costs.
The issue is controversial as most of the equipment was designed and built with tax-payers money. Some commentators have claimed that if it had gone to court NG would have lost, however a court case would have taken years to settle.
