IBM, Amazon settle patent tiff

BIG GLUE said it has come to an agreement over disputed patents between it and Amazon.

IBM has ended up with a heap of money from Amazon in return for a cross licence agreement, but how much that is we just do not know.

To show that acrimony is at end end, IBM said it looked forward to a more productive relationship with Amazon in the future.

So it probably was quite a lot of money. µ
