Sadly that is true. Fortunately there is no chance Vispero can do that with NVDA because NVDA is an open source project so if the developers of that project stop development, folks can pick up where the developers left off.

They spend hundreds of millions every year just buying anything that may be the faintest competition so they can throw it away, or, on the rare occasion, incorporate it into their lineup.
