I'm not so sure it was just a license. I suspect it was the whole lens 
assembly that was purchased from Canyon. It's the only thing that makes 
sense. Tooling up to make a complex electro/optical/mechanical device 
for a limited run of one model would be economic foolishness. On the 
other hand, selling additional production from a line already running 
would have distinct economic advantage for C from a marginal cost 
standpoint.
