Metacard vs. Revolution

[Geoff Canyon]

>I know that Revolution uses the "Metacard engine". Why, then, do we have -both- Metacard and Revolution? What I mean by that is: Why does Metacard permit Revolution to utilize its "engine" when people buying Rev licenses are probably giving most of the money to Revolution with a small "engine fee"(?) going back to Metacard?

I'm sure they've worked it out so both are satisfied with the deal. Revolution is pursuing markets that MetaCard hasn't, doesn't, and isn't likely to. I would assume Revolution is covered so that MetaCard can't withdraw from the agreement.
