I have to ask "what licensing agreements"? Are we talking Vmeta[1] support
now?
Are you implying there are two levels of hardware support for some XO

One level that is available with the standard released build, and a second
level
only available via custom builds or later installation? 

Think I might know the answers but I would like to read the reply,
