Hey, Apple et al., here's an innovative idea: let's all agree to start the next thing from the most effective version of the last thing. We might all benefit.

(I wonder how Wikipedia would be doing if we weren't allowed to modify others' entries?)

Apple's probably fine with that as long as the maker of the next thing pays the maker of the last thing.
I'm not sure how you get that from this case. Apple isn't offering to license the patents to HTC (even though HTC has made it clear they'd love to do that). Instead, Apple is trying to get HTC's products banned from the US market.
