Couldn't it be the other way around? That would make much more sense to me:
ESE is developing a new VDP now, and -in parallel- are in discussion with
Yamaha about transferring the copyrights. the correct way to go about
would have been *first* reach an agreement with Yamaha and *then* start
developing the ewn VDP. As long as Yamaha hasn't yet agreed
to really transfer the copyrights, ESE has no right to do the development
they are working on now and will thus (a) NOT get the copyrights and
(b) have a lawsuit up their a****s from Yamaha, if Yamaha finds out about
ESE's current activities. *Then* we/they will not be able to use their
new VDP.
Another possibility is that the agreement ESE is trying to reach with
Yamaha includes a paragraph which makes it impossible for ESE to
continue their current VDP development...
