Including patents owned by MIT, no? It feels like this could use a disclosure and some additional context to understand where the incentives here are. I've walked away feeling like I know less after having read this.

The patents are owned by the Broad, not MIT. The Broad is affiliated with MIT and Harvard, but is independently governed and its IP is its own IP.
