Several companies have licensed the underlying technology in recent months, but the details are subject to nondisclosure agreements, says Muriel Medard, a professor at MITs Research Laboratory of Electronics and a leader in the effort.

The licensing is being done through an MIT/Caltech start-up called Code-On Technologies.
