Dude, all Rockchip had to do to avoid this was a bit of license-related bookkeeping. They're a corporation, so they're used to dealing in bookkeeping and contracts. Someone at their end whose job it is to track this stuff either screwed up or let this through on purpose, assuming they wouldn't be caught (more likely the latter, because China).
