Blue Origin was in breach of solicitation requirements that would likely result in in intellectual property disputes with the government [0].
I don't think NASA found any issues with SpaceX and Dynamics proposal with regard to IP licensing rights.
> Blue’s approach to data rights is likely to result in protracted intellectual
property (IP) disputes during contract performance and generally creates a high risk
that the Government will obtain lower IP licensing rights than it is otherwise entitled to
under the contract. (...) this aspect of Blue’s proposal is non-compliant with the solicitation’s
instructions. Blue’s proposal further impugns the Government’s potential rights in data
by proposing to deliver data created in conjunction with NASA with less than a GPR
license; this is prohibited by the solicitation.
