Microsoft issued a statement that said, "Microsoft has a world-wide, perpetual, royalty-free license to all of Nortel's patents that covers all Microsoft products and services, resulting from the patent cross-license signed with Nortel in 2006."
if that is true, then microsoft may use Nortel's LTE patents in their window based Nokia smart phone, and Nokia can ride for free ? Is this logical ? This is not clear to me, any comments ?
