Yes, they settled. I get to keep my Blackberry. It's bittersweet though. $612.5 Million is a lot of money. At least RIM's stock went up.
For the record, I wasn't ever worried that Blackberry would have to shut down. But I still believe that software should merely be copywrited, and not patented. Patent mills like NTP should be shut down and banned, like the practice of domain name sitting has been. Althought somewhere deep down, the pure capitalist in me gives NTP a nod of approval.
