Fuji should swallow their pride and ask Sony how they do it

their full frame bodies are about the same size.

Not quite that easy.  Sony has IP associated with their cameras.  If Fuji went to Sony with hand it hand - it would not matter.  The only way they could get any potential help would be if they showed up with a pile of cash and even then Sony could either lease portions of their patent or not support Fuji.

Fuji has to develop their own IBIS while avoiding infringing - intentionally or not - on any existing patents.  Just ask Sigma what happens if you infringe on a patent in developing you OIS.  It wasn't pretty.
