Looks like sense is starting to take over:
"Motorola Mobility—now a Google-owned subsidiary—has admitted through court filings in US District Court that it has agreed to license its 3G-related patents to Apple in Germany, avoiding antitrust claims in a German Higher Regional Court."
"Some believe that Google could be hoping to avoid official antitrust sanctions in the EU over the use of standards-essential patents against competitors, and that conclusion does seem plausible."
