And that just seems a monumentally stupid decision. The last thing we
need are devices that receive and transmit kinda hopefully kinda like
a Flarm but maybe not quite. It may not be just what they see as Flarm
equipped threats but also how well their own position is received by
other Flarm equipped aircraft. Flarm seems to have been pretty
successful in developing an OEM market and supporting those OEMs so it
pretty much boggles my mind as to why somebody would try to copy/clone
the Flarm protocols vs. license the technology from Flarm.

Agreed. Anyway, the company seems be be not too successful, to put it
friendly. At least I know of no one that hat installed one of their
devices, at least not in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. May
be they have a local market in Italy.
