Are the currently available STS roto start compatible backplates produced under liscence or bought from Flying-Point Co Ltd? Where do the ones on Ebay come from - are they 'bootleg' versions?

Considering the the simple mechanism involved, it seems pretty stupid that there would be any Patent rights or infringements thereof. A bit like a company successfully patenting chair legs. Or wheels. Or gears. If you know what I mean!
