But they did and with great success. I would say the risk of them running away with their(they have it done by licensed producers) customers is low.
Maybe they could establish a contact between a developer of a Avalon-Board and one of their licensed manufacturers?

Avalon developers dont need them, i dont get why you keep bringing them up. They've also experienced a LONG delay until they found a manufacturer to produce pi in large quantity. Same shit, if you got no volume, dont knock on big doors.
