It looks like not enough people know that you can license individual PIDs from MCS Electronics:

MCS is in Holland, where both their jurisdiction and the fact that they licensed their VID from USB-IF a long time ago make it impossible to enforce the prohibition against reselling PIDs. For EU 10 each, it's worth it just to kick sand in the face of the asshats at USB-IF.



Same goes for obdev in Austria.
