Although I have found a dozen or so patents that would probably keep A.L. from getting one if they tried.

Not that it would matter very much, because this is not BAM.
BAM is flawed, and MIBAM represents a "Significant Improvement".

....... BAM was published by AL *specifically* to place the idea & implementation in the public domain and keep companies from patenting it.

Partly because there's been some ugliness in the professional lighting / theatre world by companies patenting (and then aggressively litigating) LED dimming and control techniques. These techniques have been obvious to those skilled in the trade since at least the 1970s, but the patents were granted nonetheless.
