Some folks here are posting 'but doesn't the radio infringe?' and the answer is no, since they have an agreement with the radio and radio manufacturers.

Oh, I didn't know you needed a license to manufacture radio receivers, care to provide some sources to back this claim up?




Thanks for that reference, turns out OP absolutely wrong:

Subsequently, regulation SOR-89-253 (published in the 4 February 1989 issue of the Canada Gazette, pages 498-502) eliminated licence requirements for all radio and TV receivers, eliminating the possibility that licensing could be reinstated at the regulators' whim.


The license being discussed in the Wikipedia article linked is for end users of the devices, not the manufacturers.
