Licenses don't differ per industry, only in the way they are written and agreed upon. A license just allows the use of another's trademark while avoiding litigation. Everything depends on the licensing agreement. There was obviously a change to the agreement recently that had to have been broad enough such that this game wouldn't constitute infringement, otherwise, what else would have prevented capcom from using these characters in the past for a fighting game franchise that had proved successful? Or, There may have been a 10 yr clause in the original agreement for all we know and that may be why Capcom can now use these characters.

I just hadn't heard anything about it, which is why I asked. EA and Activision previously owned the licensing rights to use Marvel's trademark's in videogames and that was what prevented Capcom from producing this game over the past decade.

Either way, I'm just glad this is finally happening. I only asked about this License thing because I wanna make sure this is REALLY happening and I'm not getting my hopes up again for nothing, lol.
