They just paid them over $900,000 to open their doors for 6 months. So if BAE is going to benefit far more than "just" the over $900,000 then why should POET pay them anything? Right now POET is paying BAE to be their "partner" that is fact. So what your saying is their news releases are confusing and ambiguous because they have to keep someone else's name out of the picture? How would that stop them from saying in the NR, we have hired BAE for $900,000 to work with us and to have access to their lab and equipment. Why was they are paying BAE left out of the NR? It has nothing to do with keeping names out of the picture. Instead it was made to sound like a collaboration in the sense that they are mutually working together and mutually providing something for the benefit of each other. That's not the case, POET is paying them.
I understand you have your opinions and thoughts and I have mine. I just disagree with yours and you disagree with mine. Simple as that.
