Simon, While not exactly what you were asking, the SCS website claims to own the trademark Pactor, and gives limitations on the amount of connects their product allows on P3 before user has to purchase a license. They consider themselves the Pactor creators, and state it on thier site. http://www.scs-ptc.com/registration.html Don't know if this helps, David KD4NUE (owner of SCS PTC IIex with Pactor 3 license) their info from site:

This is a serious request, part of an attempt to remove Pactor 3 from our bands on the basis of it being a 'closed system'. Simon Brown, HB9DRV
