In the EU it's ok to ask companies to do things, even if it costs them money.

everywhere it's the same. the problem is that it makes no sense for a state entity to force a company offer their product via a 3rd party without taking into consideration the myriad of questions that arise.

they might mean an unspoken deal no to sue each other rather than a written one

usually what I hear is "they've cross-licensed." That doesn't translate as "unspoken deal."
