The EU fined Microsoft (MSFT) a record $1.3 billion for overcharging developers for interoperability information needed to develop Windows-compatible software. Microsoft noted the fines related to past issues that have been resolved.
Microsoft has dropped licensee royalty demands from 2.98%-3.87% to 0.5-0.7% and later to a flat fee of $14,000 for interoperability info and a worldwide patent license for 0.4%. There was speculation a penalty could go as high as $2.2B.
