DSA has never been licensed by FN. They bought the original blueprints, tooling, and spare parts from Steyr.

DSA came into being after FN stopped producing and licensing the FAL.

An interesting note...

The reason the world has the G3 is because Herstal refused to sell the Germans a license to fabricate the G1 (German issue FAL).
