I read about it from a bunch of sources, which eventually pointed to https://www.change.org/p/intel-allow-silverstone-and-asus-to.... But there hasn't been an official statement about why they've been refused from Intel, so I can't link to it. You mention you still believe Intel has refused to license the hardware - what reason do you think applies?

The final ViDock 4 is actually a ExpressCard to PCIe. You have to buy a separate Thunderbolt to ExpressCard.

Having ExpressCard in the middle kills your bandwidth, and ExpressCard is way narrower than PCIE or Thunderbolt.
