With the articles about Polaroid stopping film production but trying to find life in the form of licensing to others, I started thinking about some of the "specialty" films that Kodak had to stop production of. Ignoring the cost/feasibility of others picking up production, does anyone here know if Kodak even offers the possibility of licensing? Using EIR as an example, I know Kodak couldn't make it in a way that was profitable (which is fine/understandable from a business point of view) but if some other company wanted to produce it do you think Kodak would license the technology--or, ha ha, let someone else produce it in the name of support of an artistic art form or whatever? Just something I was wondering about.
Adios,
Matt

If Kodak were that concerned about 'supporting an art form' they would already have begun licencing products. Look at HIE, almost every bw film photog has tried it, a great many like it and would continue using it, but Kodak made no visible effort at all to arrange any sort of licencing of it.
