I dont get this....
There was story similar to this @mynokiablog the other day.
But it made no mention of MS benefiting...
It said MOSAID would get 1/3, & Nokia the rest.
Why the hell does MS also profit from Nokia's IP?

Surely it can't be due to the money MS paid them as part of the Feb deal?
So much has already been ceded, I don't recall a massive chunk of Nokia's IP being part of that.

*edit*
I re-read that story @mynokiablog & some of the comments.
I'm quite sure there's no profitability directly for MS here.
It's more likely that Nokia will use the arrangement in a offensive sense to compete w/Android.
And this will indirectly be to MS's advantage....
