"If the priority is to settle, I do not see why the attorneys could not insure the settlement document was signed by both TPL and Moore. Remember according to the agreement, Moore is not to interfere with the licensing effort. That would mean signing any settlement document, if it is deemed necessary by TPL. "

I think someone pasted a post by Ronran suggesting that the law suit "could be" affecting/delaying the wave. I would defer to Ron's expertise on this matter.
