I have am working with ATMEGA processors to build my own hardware. It is fairly easy and cheap (just a few EURO) to build a 42 button, 16 axes joystick. Currently I have to work around the plib limitations and split up the functionality by emulating multiple joysticks - what a waste of resources... So for my point of view, getting rid of that limitation is a plus. I have no idea, if there are any license issues. And - someone has to do the job...
