    And you know this for a fact? Did they tell you such? Are you an Apple senior executive? Insider? Are you stating as fact something you absolutely have no knowledge of? I think so.

    No he's being a bit of a smart-alack. He wasn't expecting to be taken seriously.

    If they did, they would have licensed OSX to clone makers, so that proves it.

    Motorola attacked Apple.



    Motorola has terminated FRAND licenses for their patents of baseband chip manufacturers ONLY for chips that are supplied to Apple.



    They are doing this so the patents aren't exhausted and they have refused Apple's offers to pay.



    This seems VERY discriminatory, anti-competitive and against the spirit of FRAND based standards.







    I was under the impression that FRAND was permanent and could not be terminated? Educate me with links please.
