a MS executive said they "prefer to license than litigate". IBM has
enough resources and patents to snarl up MS for years.
So? Why will IBM and Microsoft fight?
Microsoft will offer IBM a patent license and a pass-through patent
license for IBM customers. They will probably even wind up paying IBM
money.
Who will go to the mat with Microsoft if Microsoft offers them a cheap out?
Hmmmmm?
