Apple allegedly offered Motorola and Samsung patent licensing

Sources, close to Apple, have reportedly shared with Dow Jones
Newswires that Apple has offered Motorola and Samsung patent
licensing deals in order to settle some of the ongoing litigations.
Allegedly, Apple is seeking between $5 and $15 royalties per
handset or roughly between 1% and 2.5% of net sales per device.
If this information turns out true it marks a shift in Apple's strategy
when dealing with Google's rife operating system. It's no secret that
the late Apple leader, Steve Jobs wanted nothing to do with
reconciling with Android but rather wished it gone from the face of
the market.
If Apple settles into patent licensing deals with Motorola and
Samsung, it could receive a nice cash injection as we all know
Android is flourishing in sales but also the Cupertino-based company
could raise the price of making Android smartphones, thus
effectively hardening the task of producing low-end droids for the
mass market and making the OS less favorable for developers.
Trying to stop or otherwise slow down Android by seeking injunctions in various countries
is becoming more and more tiresome a task. Samsung and others have proven that even
hardware-based injunctions can be overcome in a timely manner so it's logical if Apple has
decided to change their strategy. It's either that or we're witnessing a textbook the-stick-or-
the-carrot type of game in action.
