I dunno...the way I'm reading it...TI is now wanting to collect money on 3D as a separate deal directly with them.
In effect, you bought a projector and, after the fact, TI thinks....hmmmm this 3D thing is a cash-cow...how do WE cut in on it. Disable it after a period of time and charge people to reactivate it. It would be like having to pay Bill Gates every few months for software you already licensed. Depending on the fee, I think TI will find that exhibitors will be more than miffed. At least, with Real-D, there is an actual apparatus you are paying for (and that Real-D has to keep up)...with the projector feature, it is mere software within the projector that you paid quite a tidy sum of money for, already. Furthermore, there definitely has not been full disclosure that the 3D capabilities within these DLP projectors are only activated for a period of time.
