I have already gone through each file and verified permission. So, I think I am now at the step where I file the grant and then the PPMC has to do the final IP clearance, I am just not sure. >How important is this? What percentage of existing tests need this?

I would give it somewhere around a .2/10 on priority. The way I have it working is to use the libraries and opt-in. It's just we need to do a bit to force the linkage of the library at compile time this way and it makes it a more complicated experience for users.... however, it is totally manageable outside, perhaps with an installer tool, etc. I wouldn't put it anywhere near the top of your priority list.
