Facebook and Yahoo! friends again, agree to patent cross-license

Facebook and Yahoo! friends again, agree to patent cross-license

And so, the Facebook v. Yahoo. courtroom tussle has come to an end. The two Silicon Valley giants have agreed to a legal truce and cross-licensed a bit of each other's IP, meaning that's one less legal donnybrook we have to worry about upsetting consumer sensibilities. Not only have the two settled their differences over their respective advertising and social networking patents, but they've also agreed to an ad sales partnership, too. Now, if only all those other, myriad tech litigants could amicably settle their differences with such alacrity.
