you're assuming kel tec was trying to license, and nobody was biting

kel tec is not good at business, simple as that. maybe they don't care about selling in quantity because the business exists to support the design shop. but there's no way in hell they could not have found someone to license one of their designs for a fast cash infusion that would've let them expand their production facilities

I believe you are thinking that. I never said they were trying to license them just that ruger and others made clones of them. Ruger is one of the most litigious gun companies and sue people constantly. It would be like if mcdonalds stole some nugget sauce idea from some mom and pop place. Would be hard to have the legal cost not outweighing the potential settlement for the smaller place.

If you license a design to big company A, and big company B just steals the design, big company A has a financial interest in helping shut down big company B.
