What exactly is 'third party licensing'?

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone:

'Third party licensing' is when someone who did not make the original item/ property wants to use it in some form for promotion or gain, such as an image, model, sound sample etc.....

'The Third party license' normally makes statements on how an image or symbol etc can be used, in what context it is to be used in and not used in etc etc....

'Third party' is a person/ persons other than the original maker or creator. In this case the third party is 'CM' and the maker/ owner 'Ferrari'

I hope I've covered it in a way that is clear.

So Codemasters wants the license to use models of Ferrari's in GRID, but there is some kind of problem that doesn't let them. And Uncle Chewy, what do you mean by 'delay', are you planning on resolving the issue?

I may be wrong, but the problem can be that the 3rd party has some exclusive rights for ferraris in games and they want too much money for it or they just don't want to share the license.

Pretty much like on football (soccer) games, where EA has exclusive rights on using UCL and some national leagues in games.

We're making headway with a resolution. The proposed change takes just four days of work to do, but we need to retest and resubmit any changes to MS/Sony before we can release the pack. This will take at least a month, probs heading towards the end of April. Frustrating I know...

Do you know if it is supposed for be part of the "8ball" download pack for pc and/or patch 1.3 OR is it planned as a separate game update?

Please Codemasters and Microsoft fix this injustice to online racing! Let the WHOLE world race online like we do with GRID and Flatout 2!! Will F1 use GFWL?

It's not that frustrating, I understand you guys are working hard, and it I know it takes a while to fix. I appreciate your guys' work.
