What does this mean?

Got an advertisement/newsletter for Baseball Mogul 2007 in my email today:

What does "exclusive licensee" mean? Why would BM 2007 claim to be the only game allowing play in any season?

I think because BM2007 comes with those rosters already with the game.

The Lahman Database is for public use but they got an "Exlcusive License" to package it with the game. So basically, it means almost nothing.

Yes, especially that the Puresim web page http://www.puresim.com/ has this:
Quote:
We've Licensed the Lahman database -- real players included with the game!
PureSim 2007 has licensed the Sean Lahman database, which has information on every player that has ever played major league baseball. With the database integrated directly into the game it's easier than ever to user PureSim to play out any season from 1900-2005.
I hope that Baseball Mogul didn't pay too much for the exclusive license.
