I just now stated it.
I had tried to make the completely proprietary nature of the functionality

If the functionality in question is interoperation with proprietary
palladium features, and if everyone who has palladium has to buy into
a license that says they won't try to reverse engineer those features,
what would this matter?
Finally, remember that I'm talking about a hypothetical vaporware
palladium which probably has little to do with the palladium product
which will presumably be released in real life.
