ah i see, are you a lawyer?
in my opinion, emurgo is to google as iohk is to linux. google (open software era) has dominated for 20 years and before that was microsoft (open hardware era). the next 20 years is open data and open source. the legal construct that you speak of is about to get disrupted. it does not matter what the legal profession does, they cannot stop distributed software. napster is a better example and they had the last laugh.
if you have studied microsoft, bill gates said half jokingly, "Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.” notice he did not say legal gods.
