Correct, the term 'refusal' was an incorrect choice or term and a bit
unfortunate. It implies both a finality of outcome which does not meet
the actual situation, and it suggested that the actions/inactions by the
IP holder were in fact intentional whereas it appears they were not.
(For the details of the case in question, they are in the archives, so I
won't repeat them here).
I'm sure the overall comfort level would be much higher if someone where
to report about a success in getting a license (and perhaps some of the
details of the terms thereof).
