I really do not get the complication of the character licensing thing between Archie and Sega. With the Gensis Wave reboot thing, it makes it even easier since it separates the wheat (Archie exclusive characters + Ian Flynn's creations) from the chaff ( Pender's characters, whome are no-go due to legal reasons). Any Archie characters in such situations introduced into the Sega universe of course would acknowledge they are the characters from the Sega universe in particular and have no canonical connections to the Archie universe. Like the multiverse theory thing.

With the amount of licensing they got from Sonic + Mario at the Olympic games, SSB or All Stars Racing, getting licensing from the Archie Universe (minus Pender's characters) shouldnt be that difficult.
