The war is over! HTC and Apple sign an armistice!
Apple and HTC have dismissed all lawsuits against one another and signed a 10-year licensing agreement that extends to current and future patents held by both parties.
The details of the truce are not known. All we have is a terse joint press release.
Let today henceforth be known as Armistice Day, the day on which the most significant war in modern history has ended.
