Not sure about roland being the only company allowed to use the Hammond sound. Hammond doesn't license that sound to any company. They themselves build clones of their own organs in the xk series, and everyone else on the planet builds b3 and c3 clones all day long and incorporates them into keyboards and digital pianos. Roland use to manufacture a b3 clone called the vk8 and vk8m. They no longer make this unit, and we haven't seen anything from roland in a while in the b3 clone category. Personally, if you want the best keyboard on the planet that is fully 100 percent accessible, has the best piano and b3 available, go with the nord stage 2 88. THis machine is by far the best there is, and has sounds that are so true to life, it should be illegal. The b3 sounds so good, and the piano and rhodes are fantastic. Hope this helps.
