By the same logic, anyone writing a history book, novel, or producing a movie based around a historical time period should have to pay Grumman to be historically accurate?
Some serious time limits need to be placed IP rights. Seriously, should Ford demand a fee for the Model-T being on the ground in a WWI flight game?
Should gun manufactures sue the pants of makers of WWII fps games for including accurate weapons of the time period they happened to make?
Maybe everybody should jump on the Grumman bandwagon and demand money for whatever reason.......
"You owe us big time money for using our grandpappy associated with a plane paint scheme he used in WWII!"
"You owe us money for showing company "X"'s type of bomb as a loadout option on the P-38, also we made the tires on the P-51, replace them with doughnuts or give us money!"
"You owe us money for putting a half naked lady on that famous B-17 bomber, my grandma was the lady who actually posed for that picture and if we can't get paid for her being half naked - we have to stop calling her an old whore!"
I think I'll go figure out if I can trace my ancestors back to the cave-dweller who invented the wheel - I see a huge money maker.
