They are required to run the business in a profit seeking manner. I think they can even go to jail... so "do the right thing" is not an option for them.
You can trade patent licenses for other patent licenses. You can trade a patent license for code or secrets.
Say, would Tux2 be useful on a DVD-RAM? Gee, can you think of any other patent-holders and secret-holders that might have a use for Tux2? Apple has some influence over video patents used in QuickTime.
