Technically, by offering new content which might increase sales of IL2, TD is making money for 1C. In any case, I believe that the TD members had to agree to work under the same restrictions as the 1C team.
Of course, now that I've gone and posted, it looks like Lockheed-Martin is still its own corporation, although they tried to merge with N-G about a decade ago when things were better for the world and not so good for weapon makers.
I think the real impact of the N-G affair was to make Oleg and company very wary of modeling any U.S. weapon system. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for any U.S. plane unless it's produced by a company that's been gone for at least 50 years. That still leaves a whole lot of Brewster, Curtiss, Stinson and Waco products which are fair game.
