What I find funny is that the article is pretty clear. I wrote it so I thought it was clear. The licensing isn't the real issue here. That is just a minor issue in the vast sea of many other issues.
They keep focusing on the smallest issue though and instead ignore the bigger repercussions of the other issues.
This isn't about a license, this is about a full on manipulation of markets, manipulation and involvement in other aspects of altcoins.
They seem really focused on what is the most minor of issues instead of the larger, major ones.
