Samsung and Microsoft have settled on an agreement for patent royalties and cross licensing. In short, Samsung pays Microsoft money for every Android smartphone sold to use their patents and Microsoft also gets free access to Samsung's patents. Kind of lopsided if you ask me. Microsoft also has HTC to bring money in for every Android smartphone of theirs sold. If you don't remember, elementary math once suggested that Microsoft is making more money on Android phones sold than Windows phones sold. That's probably a good thing for Microsoft, but the rest of the industry prefer to see it the other way around.
