wouldn't this be cliche biting the hand that feeds? Seems to me motorola owes some of its recent success (or just the fact its remained in business, and not become another nokia) to its android devices? does google not have any recourse if moto decides to pull this crap? i guess worse thing google could do is leave motorola with the open source bits, and not provide any support/co-branding or whatever goes along with the current arrangement.

I have a hunch this is Motorola saying: "Hey Google! Nice shiny patents over here! Shame if you didn't buy them...". Given their existing Android bet, they don't have an incentive to hit the Android ecosystem with a new front in the patent war.

Motorola said they may go offensive against Android competitors, not other Android licensees; remember, it's appleinsider who's reporting.
