This is a disputed claim according to your wikipedia link

  It is true!!. A dispute that had no basis. If they had asked reasonable royalties it would have been OK, but they refused to licence many makers - yet they failed to make their own planes in volume for related bad business reasons. Did you read where the early USAF on that era was forced to buy French a dn British planes due to the bad management by the Wrights

    Yes, the Wrights were poor businessmen. That does not take away from their great success at flight. They still managed to become wealthy.
