There is nothing negative about this announcement. It is unalloyed good news.
Our first announced (successful) interaction with FG was the collaboration with ESA to evaluate Akida SoI (Global Foundries?) samples and software, AND the potential for integration into FG's next generation, fault tolerant, rad-hard microprocessors.
"Under this new commercial Akida IP licence agreement, Brainchip is entitled to receive a 10% royalty on the net sale price of Frontgrade's first licensed product in exchange for providing Akida 1.0 IP that included 100 hours of intergration support and 24 months of software maintenance. After 24 months FG has the option to purchase additional software maintenance for $125,000 per year. FG also has the option to obtain an additional Akida 1.0 licence for one more licenced product for a fee of EU$ 150.000 or a royalty of 15% of the net sale price of the second licenced product."
BRN has licensed FG to use its Akida IP ,ie, thay are making a new SoC incorporating the Akida 1 circuit design.
This will, of necessity, also include one or more models as well as an MCU to configure Akida.
The MCU will probably be of FG design. The models may be a combination of an Akida model with additional FG data, or they may be FG data converted to Akida format.
So, as I read it, FG will be produing a MCU product line incorporating Akida 1 (10% royalty), and they have an option to produce a second MCU product line incorporating Akida 1 (15% royalty).
