Default Ford Licensing Article in Model "A" News

What did you guys think about the article in the latest Model "A" News about the Ford Company or its adjuncts charging licensing fees for reproduction of items involving the familar script, the oval, etc. including the original Model "A" Parts numbering scheme?

I can see where licensing might have value for the more recent collectors of Mustangs, T-Birds, etc.

For us here struggling to keep our relics running properly, the allegation that
licensing ensures quality and functionality is laughable. It seems like more
a means to squeeze dough out of a small number of parts retailers who are as equally motivated by hobby loyalty as they are by any profits earned out of this narrow market.

It's all a good reason not to buy any new Ford product.
