To be honest, I'm not really sure it does. *puts on lawyer hat*. The GDC specifically said to restore it to its intended COTS state. They did not specify whether a gearbox assembled from a kit is a COTS part. The person answering the question may not necessarily know that VersaPlanetary gearboxes come as a kit/disassembled. They aren't necessarily a technical minded person and it's not their job to keep track of how suppliers package their parts. I would absolutely love if assembled gearboxes were considered a COTS part (assuming they are sold as kits), but it would be a great candidate for a Q&A question to ask them directly. Understandably people don't want to because as long as the GDC hasn't specifically ruled against it, people are fine living in the grey area.
