Why Square Enix is inviting indies to explore its vault of intellectual property

This looks like it could be quite the boost to indie studios
Given them some established brand to work with to generate sales, possibly fund even better original IP indie game down the line and maybe inspire Square to revist some discontiued series.

Anyone else excited by this?
Any thoughts on what it could lead to on the new Andriod powered platforms down the line (since its PC only atm) or the Sony/Microsoft consoles?
