Unfortunately, as far as I know, no-one can license Dolby NR anymore. If you want to record or playback tape with noise reduction you're pretty much limited to "vintage" equipment.

You might not be able to license the name, but the patents have long since expired. Just call it "noise reduction B", "noise reduction C", etc.
