At first, this really pissed me off -- Microsoft sticking it to everyone with Android.
But 11 companies with Android products on the market are paying licensing fees to Microsoft? That's way too many lawyers in agreement for this to something superficial.
Where the hell is Google in all this? I thought they were going to defend OEMs? Honestly, I can't say that I'm surprised. Google might be a big force in the industry, but in old-school software licensing, they're noobs.
