...as well as the Motorola/Freescale naming scheme in such a misleading way that it implies the incorporation of both an MMU and FPU when in fact they have none.

I stand by my assessment that they probably are rebadged slower Motorola/Freescale parts.

Assuming a Freescale representative said that there has never been any such license granted by either Freescale or Motorola Semiconductor I'd be inclined to accept this as proof of the non-existence of such license. Until then I won't change my opinion that I find the existence of such license highly improbable.
