The resolution of AFP's (Agence France-Presse) lawsuit against Google closes a two-year litigation process but opens up many questions, primarily because the companies provided few details about their settlement and licensing agreement.
For example, it's not clear whether the licensing agreement involves Google paying AFP for the right to use its material in Google News. Consequently, all outsiders can do is speculate about which company gave more in settlement negotiations that put an end to the copyright-infringement lawsuit AFP filed in March 2005.
