No, the Milestone things was gravely devoid of facts. Just to sum it up:


 * Scott Lobdell mentioned in an interview he couldn't use Static for his Teen Titans series.
 * One blog, Four Colors, took this and quite frankly, made up a whole controversy about "Dwayne McDuffie's heirs" wanting the rights back. No other comics site reported on the matter, as there was no indication from either DC or whatever "McDuffie's heirs" were (his widow? his parents?)
 * Four Colors is noted for its negative opinions on DC's treatment of Milestone characters but this may have been more wishful thinking.
 * Another blog picked it up. It was still "it may".
 * Then, the sudden cancellation of DC Nation.
 * And then, sh!t hit the fan. It was spread around, with additional "facts" added.
 * Then came additional fuel on the fire: Icon was removed from the cover of issue #21.

But still, no word from DC, "McDuffie's heirs", Milestone Media, or anyone else. So it's like the Mayan thing tomorrow: reading too much into it.
