Google vs. Nokia IP clash: circle closes

So, Google and Nokia seem to be clashing over the VP8 codec which is planned for the WebRTC standard.
Or actually, Google has e.g. Mozilla Foundation as its WebRTC partner, along with others. Nokia collaborates with Microsoft, which has been promoting an alternative approach to WebRTC.
However, we do not know if Nokia and Microsoft collaborate in this particular topic.
Being personally based in Finland, the history is interesting. I have been informed by a person closely involved, that actually Google's VP8 codec was developed by Finland-based Hantro.
Hantro was acquired by On2.
Then, On2 was acquired by Google. 

What is the conclusion? We can develop and innovate demanding software in Finland.
And not only for Nokia, there are actually quite a lot cooking here...
