So does KEE currently collect royalties from all electronic gun makers?

From what I have heard KEE, Dye and WDP still have the rights, and share them. All of them have to pay into the fund also, but they get a percentage return on it.
As we have been told, they allow you to sell about 1000 guns, then they set a price and collect an amount from you back that is equal to the 1000 having sold, and then the per gun price after that. This does allow you to get setup and to be able to incorporate that into your sales, without a large burden upfront as was charged in the past.
We are still waiting on some clarity on that. As of now we talk to a few KEE people and their has been no pressure on us to do anything, and actually interest in seeing us do well.
