Difference between Klingon and Tengwar

[William_J_G Overington]

What exactly, precisely would Unicode Inc. need in relation to the 
Intellectual Property Rights in order to proceed please?

Would a permanent licence to use the glyph designs in The Unicode 
Standard be enough?

Would Unicode Inc. be willing to pay the owner of the Intellectual 
Property Rights a one-off payment of one United States Dollar as 
consideration for providing such a licence if that were the way to 
resolve the matter satisfactorily?

Would Unicode Inc. be willing to include in The Unicode Standard and in 
the code chart a statement mentioning the licence and thanking the owner 
of the Intellectual Property Rights?

Yet if Unicode Inc. were to do most of the necessary work first and then 
write to the Intellectual Property Rights owners stating that Unicode 
Inc. would like to encode the Klingon glyphs into Unicode, and would do 
so if the Intellectual Property Rights issues could be resolved, and 
including a detailed draft of what this encoding would involve, then 
maybe that would lead to progress.
