I'm not really sure that BM.3 published the three STF- albums I linked them to as a publisher, given that I could only find them specifically listed as the distributor, but I couldn't find any explicit publisher credits for them anywhere saying someone else was involved. However, they didn't publish STF-0021~4, which is why I'm a bit hesitant.
In either case, Sten och Flod had nothing to do with any album after STF-0015; they're not on the website, neither them nor the parent label ULF are mentioned anywhere on the albums, and there's a two and a half year gap between STF-0015 and STF-0016~17. There's a Sega connection to ULF/SoF, since all of their websites have "© WAVE MASTER" at the bottom, but I'm not really sure what the relationship is there. There's also a connection with the BM.3 STF releases: Shigeharu Isoda (http://vgmdb.net/artist/5318), who's composed for Sega and done some mastering work for Wave Master, did the mastering for three of the four (we don't have scans for the DDMS drama album), and STF-0021~4 was manufactured by Wave Master. They may have had a hand in reviving the catalog stem with a different distributor, but that's speculation on my part.
