Yes. Don't take that as a negative.

The problem is the patches are usable by anyone seperately for any
commercial project under any license. It might be better if it said
"Troll Tech may license..." akin to the NPL. I dont mind if the creator
gets that right - fine, nice trade off. Its a bit bad that I'd have to
give any neat toys to apple, microsoft etc in the process
