Since we're on the subject of patents, Stanford U has the basic patent on
the FM process, as applied to music. Yamaha bought it from them after several
american companies had declined the option. Chowning did the research for
Stanford; as far as I know, he didn't get a very large chunk of the royalties,
if any.
