Carmelo wants the manufacturers to have less input into the rules, so he'll force them to sell the teams the bikes instead of factory/satellite (lease) model. I believe this is similar to what is done in the US. Manufacturers don't actually run any teams, they just sell the equipment.
except in the APE's case, there is a factory Aprilia mech from Max's team on board in the GP paddock for one of the teams....I think for Aspar but I could be mistaken...
