FOF9 will not have licensing. We will stick with the standard disclaimer I've used for many years - basically that we do not claim that anyone endorses the game. From the team standpoint, we'll avoid trademarks (Detroit's team will not be called the Lions, for instance).
We might attempt to obtain licensing for future versions, depending on the cost and the perceived benefit. No guarantee that can or will happen. I doubt we'd try and do something like Perfect Team Football without licensing, though. That's pushing the standard Lanham Act disclaimer a little too far.
