Google offers Android cross licencing
 

No-one knows why and evil plan expected

Google is offering up PAX a royalty-free, community-patent cross-license for its Android product, but no one is really sure why.


PAX has nine members: Google, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, HTC, Foxconn Technology Group, Coolpad, BQ, HMD Global, and Allview. All of them have 230,000 global patents which means that if Android is challenged one of them is likely to have something stowed away to counter-sue.
