I completely agree with you. There should be zero licensing cost for patents created by a public agency. I don't know why it's the way it is and I'm going to assume it's just another way for them to make money and fund other stuff which I kinda understand but that can also stagnate things. I've worked with public agencies before and multiple times we were mandated by freaking congress to open source our work for anyone to use and we were contractors working for a public agency. Charging licensing fees to a public agency seems insane to me.
