I don't know what your question is, but streaming licenses don't really make producers much money. Their business model is selling DVDs/Blu-rays. Streaming is viewed as little more than an advertisement, so streaming licenses are cheap and produce little money. Home video licenses are costly and net almost all of the profits for producers. That may change in the future, but right now that's the business model.
