Of course, although (properly worded) that would be illegal.

But still a big scam on USR's part. Certainly, it costs them money to develop
the new protocol, although since TI are selling x2 parts and TI does the
USR DSP, perhaps TI wrote the code? Clearly all work has to be paid by new
purchasers of the modem, since usually there is no more revenue from an
existing owner. Maybe USR aren't expecting this to sell very well.

I heard the other day that K56Flex is far superior (and faster) anyway.
