I think that this bit from the summary:

"Software developer Ben Sturmfels, whose 2010 anti-software-patent petition won the support of open source community members such as Jonathan Oxer, Andrew Tridgell, and software freedom activist Richard Stallman, disagreed"

was trying to say that Ben Sturmfels disagrees, and that back in 2010 Jonathan Oxerm, Andrew Tridgell and Richard Stallman agreed with Ben Sturmfels about something else. A sort of 'appeal to authority by association'.

Nokia certainly like to claim that they got a favoured position due to their (at the time) market strength. Are you saying they didn't?

Okay, doing a quick search on "samsung ,mobile phone profits". I see things like:

"reported its highest quarterly profits since 2008, with net profit almost doubling to 5.05 trillion won ($4.5 billion) for the three months to March 31." (http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/business/120427/samsung-profits-jump-mobile-phone-sales-outstrip-apple-and-nokia)

and

"Samsung’s quarterly handset division profits nearly tripled to 4.27 trillion won ($3.8 billion U.S.), accounting for 73 per cent of total profit" (http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1169494--galaxy-phone-powers-samsung-to-record-profit)

Now, maybe those reports are wrong. And very possibly Apple makes much much more on their phones (I haven't checke but I believe it) BUT I really doubt Samsung are crying over results like that. This looks like a very very succesful business for them.

Tablets. There are others that have undercut the iPad since but the iPad itself was aggressively priced when introduced (and honestly I think it's reasonable for the specifications now). (Don't have one or plan to get one myself as there's more to life than pricing.)

From the article: "At one point, the judge asked Apple how much it would have cost them to have simply replaced my logic board when I had taken it in, and one of the Apple guys said “Oh, it wouldn’t have cost us anything, Nvidia foots the bill for each board we replace.”"

That isn't an option. Microsoft is also 'partnered' with Samsung and HTC and wants to build on them as customers. They have no interest in partnering with anyone against them.

Nokia's competitors, other than Apple, are Microsoft's customers or would-be customers. Google is Microsoft's competitor and Nokia's potential supplier.

Exactly, just as if a company uses the exression '4G' in an advertisement otherwise aimed at Australians, they'll have hard time convincing anyone that that one word should be read as aimed at the American market.

Would you accept Wikipedia as a source in this case?

The fact that the subject line isn't generally very useful is exactly what causes problems when you use it for something else. If the subject was usually useful then everyone would read it, followed by the message, and together they would make sense. But the subject isn't usually useful, so I don't usually read it and if it does contain something useful then chances are I've missed it.

So in the same sense that being right handed is a sign of someone being a terrorist - not all terrorists are right handed but a lot of them are (and maybe some other people too).
