YSK that scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are not paid for the knowledge they create. The knowledge is public domain.

When they publish articles, they typically transfer the copyright to the publisher, which is why they will happily assist you in pirating articles.

Patents are public with the express purpose that others may learn from them. Only the actual use of an invention requires permission. Even that lasts only 20 years rather than 100+ years as is the case with copyrights.

So, this quote is not an explanation of any problems. It is (probably deliberately) misleading. Researchers will not receive any license fees. Rather, these fees will subtract from research budgets.
