Sadly, as a supporter of how MQA can sound (particularly as implemented by Meridian), I suspect this will diminish the value of MQA (both the company, but possibly the technology too).

I have wondered whether it might be in the interests of the licensees in MQA to acquire the IP and open source it, which would mean their investment to-date was somewhat protected and potentially accepted more widely (especially without anyone needing to incur the licensing fees).
