I really doubt most of the developers are licensing anything.

I was going to post the exact same. The thought of them playing with genes that may interact with my body is scary. Not that I plan to stop them, they're free to do as they wish, but keep it contained!

But if they're big enough compared to you, they'll make their space modulator anyway and drag things out in court when you sue.
