At what point in 2014 does LOTROs license with Middle Earth Enterprises run out?

Back many months ago, tucked into the I think U10 release notes there was a link to a story stating that WB/Turbines license with the Saul Zaentz Company to use LOTR intellectual property ran out in 2014 but that there was an option to renew which had yet to be picked up. Can someone tell me if this license has been renewed, and if not what is the exact date that the license runs out and that the plug gets pulled on the game?

Asked and answered long ago. We're not going anywhere. We will continue to support and develop the game for many more years.
