From: I wouldn't know.
I believe Lufthansa developed the fix on its own, got it certified and then shared it with Airbus. Lufthansa has some very problematic neighbour relationship at its main hub in Frankfurt, so much so that there is an anti-noise demonstration every Monday evening in the mainly Lufthansa used Terminal 1 of the airport. Every little bit that could seen as helping is therefore welcome. As there is of course some intellectual property rights attached to that fix, Lufthansa could actually earn from every installation as well, which would be a very nice business case in itself, not to mention that they do obviously sell maintenance support, flight planning and charting software as well as crew planning solutions...
