Patent Licensing Problems in the US about nvidia-texture-tools HOT 3 CLOSED

Is NVIDIA sub-licensing the S3TC patent? If not, is there a cost associated 
with this
license or is it just about obtaining permission. For that matter, we'd all 
have to
have this license to use the D3DX libs as well, correct?

NVIDIA has a license of the S3TC patent that covers all our products, including 
our
Texture Tools. You don't have to obtain a license of the S3TC patent to use any 
of
NVIDIA's products, but certain uses of NVIDIA Texture Tools source code cannot 
be
considered NVIDIA products anymore. Keep in mind that the NVIDIA Texture Tools 
are
licensed under the MIT license and thus are provided without warranty of any 
kind.
