Interesting surely. All could flow to Jolla in a one way no strings attached direction as part of a favorable Here partner contract.

As far as patents go: if it could be only so simple as incentive "not to sue". Like with marihuana for own use. Or just provide them for free.
It would leave the job of exposing Jolla's infringement of Nokia patents and to start crying "unfair" about it to a third party.

If they were to merge, what about Microsoft starting to sue Nokia and Jolla after discovering their WP os platform is still on fire?



Agree and likewise there's no hope for a company where only those employee's are left that don't dare to move their PC from the left to the right side of the desk and back as they please.

Kinda explains how Elop could get an audience that would not scold him gathered for his "leaked to blogosphere" internal Lumia video the days after N9 came out.

Hopefully the smart frogs have jumped the kooking pot in time and or now brooding eggs at Jolla!
