You 'have it on good authority'? Nice phrase. What does it mean?
Provide some credible  links, data, facts and then the rest of your post might have some credibility. Otherwise it's just  meaningless.
BCLibs got a 'donation' from the company and BCLibs then gave the company a permit. Those are facts. And I blame both BCLibs and the company for working that way. So will most BCers.
