I have personal knowledge that Keithley did pay the licensing fee to distribute the serial VISA with their application.  It is a set price for unlimited distribution.  So NO, it is not clear that they did not know about this.  In fact I spent awhile disabusing them of the notion that there were additional fees for each platform.  You get a license to distribute VISA as part of an application for all platforms for some fixed fee.

I don't know at all about Racal.
