1st scenario: Do the Grumman royalties refer to products we pay for? As in, if a developer makes a 3d model and "sells" it (in an expansion or other paid-for product), the developer's profits legally "justify" Grumman's royalty fees? |
I don't think it is a case of royalties. They are not the issue. They own the rights to the likeness of their aircraft. They don't want anyone to use their property. They don't listen to any arguments by modeller's because there is no financial (corporate) need for them to do so (relative to the size of the company).
Having said that, what is the incentive for them to aid a foreign company at a potential cost to domestic ones (Little Soft ware brothers etc.)
I have never heard any talk of fees.
