You have previously said that they do not licence the reader from Mobipocket but that they have written it themselves. So which statement is correct?
No, what you're thinking of, I think, is that the Gen3's Mobi reader is not the portable Java version that Mobi wrote which, for example, the iLiad directly uses. The Gen3 doesn't have a JVM; its code is all written in C or C++, I think.

How much of the code of the Mobi reader that's in the Gen3 Bookeen wrote, and how much was supplied by MobiPocket I haven't the faintest idea, but I strongly suspect that a lot of the reader "internals" came straight from Mobi.

It's certainly licenced from Mobi - look at the copyright message on the "About" box.
