Ya, but I think it is enough for BMD to not do it.. Thats why they have ProRes and DNG support today. It is free and wont suddenly jump up in price.. Also. BMD likes to be open source friendly.
I'm not sure that prores is free of charge, i think that BMD payed it to apple, never apple did a gift like that, or every recorder and cameras would record in prores.
Anyway, like panasonic ask 100$ to add log to their gh4 / gh5, i will pay 100$ to add cineform raw to my ursa if is possible, BMD can add in firmware and unlock by code.
I use from many years cf raw, i know the good and the bad of that codec, and i often used it to convert (thanks to great Raw4Pro from alex prime) BMD dng to CFraw to edit easely it and work like a charm with Full commercial workflow of cineform.
Today only cineform raw is not enought, we need also that Resolve could decode and edit like raw files like Redcode.
If someone want it, can unlock, if no one want, no problem not buy it...
but... remember that prores have counted days...
why i told you that?
today CC2018 when I output Prores under Mac advise me that Adobe is going to remove quicktime support from their products, and suggest to use different container to keep compatibility for the future...
To me is a great signal that future could change faster, and a Broadcast safe / multi standard / raw compatible / scalable / Opensource codec like cineform is a good future form.
