The $1B fine might be one reason why they suddenly are charging for Vuforia AR SDK in version 4.0. They maybe rushed the change to pay licenses. EDIT: Yes slightly off topic but Vuforia is owned by Qualcomm and recently surprised all SDK developers with the bait and switch to licensing from free for commercial. But it has happened so drastically that there is no way to find out what it costs, "contact sales" is the answer but no response from them yet. It was very rushed see here: https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/vuforia-40-beta/prices-and-64bit-commercial-only https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/vuforia-40-beta/prices-a... This is a good example of how not to introduce pay commercial licensing on something that used to be free.
