Apple, Motorola in cross-licensing talks, EU docs show

So if I look at this article from one angle, Google basically said we're not going to breath the same air as Apple on this planet. Is that about right? Seems fair enough to me. It's been the basis of debate throughout AD for quite some time now, much less the court system.

Frankly, Apple can take a bite out my ass as well. Rules say they can't have a monopoly here in the US. So whine & sue happy as they may be, folks can 'copy' whatever they want, so long as the mechanism is different. [yeah, yeah, folks are being sued over that too]

I don't know what Motorola was doing looking in Apple's cookie jar, but it isn't uncommon for a company to make parts for multiple competitors either. I mean Asus makes mother boards for Intel & AMD. So having intimate knowledge of their architecture is the only way to get things working.
