Jordan's "customer" deal + Fisi to Toyota?

According to news on F1.on.net and itv-f1.com, Ford company has confirmed that Jordan's Ford deal was not a works deal and Jordan will be receiving engines a specification behind those used by works team Jaguar, despite what EJ has insisted before.
Ford vice-president Richard Parry-Jones: "Eddie has done a good job of clearing up the details in the last few days - it is not a works engine because our works engine is in the Jaguar." It was also quoted that Ford was fairly satisfied with the improvement of Jaguar, which snatched one point during Spa.
This could have an effect: since GF's contract states that he has an option not to exercise his contract in 2003 if Jordan does not have a works engine deal, which is exactly the present case, GF may not want to race with Jordan, considering the engine will be like that of Sauber's Petronas--a few races back. This has severe implications, given the Cosworth is not that good AND it's few races behind for the customer engines. So if GF is to stay he will expect a mediocre year yet again. The present options left is a Toyota one.
