I see that Yaesu's "Fusion" is closed, but D-Star is open. For DMR it doesn't
say; is it published but with license fees, as is sometimes done?
I've suggested to the ARRL in the past that they should treat closed protocols
as non-existent, so for example Yaesu radios would show in their review
articles as analog only. That might help somewhat to fix this issue.
