Well, so much for Kepler this Kepler that. One day it has twice the power/efficiency ratio than GCN cores, the next it obliterates anything Qualcomm has at less power consumption, the next crops appear mowed by aliens.

But at the end of the day we need factual proof of all that.

Who and why would be licensing something that needs large dies to do what it does great, probably @ a hefty price, when it is already phased out by nVidia?
Mid 2013 we were already hyping Maxwell, and nVidia had already launched the epitome of Kepler with the smallest broadly available lithography at the time, in the form of 780Ti and K6000 cards.

License the IP to do what with it? develop custom PCBs and all this jazz to do what?
Would I save money over going with existing Kepler cards etc etc.

Too many questions requiring answers that we are I am not a privy to know, but judging from the result, I would say no one could outweigh the hassle (and cost) with the benefits.

I'm wondering if Nvidia is going to announce that it changed its mind for this reason or that just to try to save face.
