Matt, first congrats on climbing the ladder. Having said that, if you can continue developing just what you wish to, and just as you wish to, then your agreement holds nothing for the parent group.
You and your crew may be justly thrilled and well employed improving the default sim, but this thread was started to thank you for your accomplishments of providing addons before your new contract.
We all will credit micrsobo when the default offerings perform as advertised, but that type of progress will be difficult to define as your doing like a new accurate addon would be.
That’s my idea of “being absorbed”.
