this has been en course since some time. actually since mntmn and vampire rtg implementation broughtup licensing questions and both hyperion and incdividual computers came into the game with an attempt of intermediation. you can rerfer to a thread on a1k if you read german, otherwise thor (thomas richter) might offer some further insight, as he seems to have been involved in the deals:

what i dont understand is how the same thing can be sold to two independant parties at one tome, except they joined an agreement to afford it. we will se how this unrolls in practice.
however if the licensing will become unbearable for community projects an open alternative might become even more relevant.
