Microsoft nears a multimillion-euro deal with CISPE to end EU antitrust complaint on cloud licensing.

Microsoft reportedly nears a multimillion-euro deal with Amazon-backed cloud lobby, CISPE, to end an EU antitrust complaint. The deal, pending approval by CISPE members, would see providers abandon an investigation request over Microsoft's cloud-licensing agreements. If accepted, the deal may include a multimillion-euro payment to the trade association and separate payments to individual companies.
