True AW have built many helicopters types under licence - for the "609" AW bought Bell out - it is not being built "under licence" - Bell are now a parts supplier of some components.
""The long-troubled partnership between AW and Bell to develop the 609 officially ended in November with AW assuming the assets of the Bell Agusta Aerospace Co., the joint venture formed to develop the aircraft. While details of the deal remain undisclosed, it is widely believed that it involved little or no cash trading hands, with AW getting it for its past program investment and the promise that Bell would provide drive train and rotor components going forward.
AW announced that it would form a new U.S.-based entity to complete certification in 2015 or 2016. Development work will be based at AW in Cascina Costa, Italy, where a third and fourth prototype will be constructed. ""
