Very interesting read

What Canon was doing was protecting the reputation of their RF autofocus system.

It would appear so. Looks like they reached an agreement to share the protocols not associated with AF. I'm sure the agreement precludes Cosina from producing anything with AF. For that company it's a moot point as I don't believe Cosina has ever produced an AF lens. Maybe some Chinese companies that make all or mostly MF lenses might reach similar agreements. The big 3 won't agree to such a thing, so probably nothing coming from them.
