I don't think the M249 will suffer the same problem, though. FN is the owner and builder of its design (unlike AR15s/M4s/etc), I believe, and the promo materials say it's built with the same parts as the military version. Should be 100% other than being SA.
Interesting that's odd that they are allowed to have the information but not allowed to use it outside of a certain set of circumstances that seems legally very clumsy.
