"as a condition to being granted a royalty-bearing license to the intellectual property essential to practice the standard, Broadcom would have to give back a royalty-free license to a much broader sweep of Broadcom intellectual property, including IP covering features and functions entirely unrelated to the standard."

Eric - Is that any worse than what Broadcom is now attempting to do with QCOM by offering to swap a couple non essential power management and video patents in exchange QCOM's entire patent portfolio WITH royalty free pass through rights. It seems David Dull (and Eric L) speaketh with forked tongue.
