I think Russ mean cost for licensing it for use in games.

Indeed, but in a game, if that means an a few extra stacks for the game 
designer, I think that's a fair trade.

Both of the long chains do seem a bit elastic when you lift them up for a 
while. Also the hinge chains looks abit rubbery when it fall onto itself. 
Perhaps that's an artifact of this 'iterative' method.
