I actually looked into becoming a licensed manufacturer/distributor for stripe kits and the reply I got was, "We are not licensing anymore in that field." I asked why not, they said, "We have enough." I said, "So you are going to restrict free trade on items that are over 30 year old?" They replied, "We feel that there is not enough volume to support the licensing fees required." So basically, the truth came out, it is all a money grab.
