LG giving in to Microsoft Linux Claims

Steeltalon writes: "It seems that LG, famed South Korean electronics company who makes everything from cell phones, to Monitors, to washing machines, and who makes significant use of Linux in many of its products, has decided to cave in to Microsoft patent claims. They've now struck a deal with MS that protects them in exchange for MS gaining access to LG patented technology that is "more valuable than the Microsoft technology claimed to be part of Linux". First Novell, now LG. What next?"
