I have been hearing rumors of a Mac Baren acquisition of McClelland recipes on YouTube. Anyone have any inside information?

The McNeils have been pretty insistent that nothing on God's green earth would result in McC being sold to anyone else, for any amount of money. Sounds pretty certain to me.
This topic has come up more times that I can count on this forum and I think we all know that 1) The McNeils do not plan on selling their brand or recipes, and 2) Even if they did, the new creations would not be the same as the originals. But seriously, how hard would it be for someone with the right recipe to recreate something nearly identical to Frog Morton?
I don't think that we'll ever see all of McClelland come back but I wouldn't be all that surprised to hear that someone made them a deal that they couldn't refuse for the rights to a frog blend or two.
