Dear gov't funders: SBIR grant/contracts have an interesting aspect to them, the gov't has the right to use the technology for it's own purposes. The language " a fully paid up royalty license to the government" is used in the contract. I find this particularly dangerous for high valued technology leveraged with small amounts of government funds. Sincerely, Leland T.
