Because if the foveon chip was in a nikon or canon camera they would have the triple the quality they could get in an ordinary chip for half
the price, just like the sigma/foveon Camera

I'm sure that sooner or later Canon and Nikon will either license the chip or have their own version. These remarkable inventions don't seem
to be kept secure by just one company anymore. They're always copied or reverse engineered. Foveon will be on top for a while, and then
something better will either take its' place or Foveon will license it's chip technology.
