See my message on the ECU thread...
Honda's "offer" is just a provocation to Ducati who wanted to freeze the Inertial Platform along with the ECU. But Honda and Yamaha vetoed that. At Assen Nakamoto told Dall'Igna, "no worries, if you want it we can sell it to you...". Amusing.
The GPOne guys this time didn't get it.

As of July 1st,
All teams will work on developing the ecu for 2016.
That means that all teams will work / share programming for everybody.

You could say that Yamaha is helping Honda, and Honda is helping Ducati, and Aprilia is helping Honda and so on...

No, because the Inertial Platform will remain proprietary.
So Honda and Yamaha keep their advantage there (and at least politically are surely helping each other), while Ducati, Aprilia and Suzuki were unable to reverse that decision.
KTM have already said that when they enter they will side with Ducati, Aprilia and Suzuki, but for the moment Honda and Yamaha won.

Good politics Huh! I'd have thought one team one vote should be order of the day.

The irony of it is that, if I remember well, it was Ducati some time ago that insisted on a raise of the required majority from 60 to 66%. Probably they were not even imagining something like Suzuki voting against the other Japanese...

It IS one-team-one-vote. There issue is passing requires more than a simple majority. More than 3 out of 5 which is just 60%.
