If the underlying architecture for backing-up and restoring the Z-Stick is Aeon Labs' (protected) intellectual property, then others must be granted authority to use it. If Aeon hasn't granted authority, then its use is by definition unauthorized. It's my understanding that Indigo Domotics has asked for access and been denied and I think it would be a very bad business decision for Indigo to just go ahead and include it anyway. It would be taking another company's product and selling it as their own.
If other companies haven't been authorized to use Aeon's intellectual property, then they're stealing it.
